2010-04-04 Thread Lie Ryan
I'm running with full system FEATURES="test" on, and I have a couple of programs that depended on dev-libs/boost. The boost testsuite always fails in my computer due to insufficient disk space, I usually simply skip the test for boost and just go on with the merge. But today, I decided to let the t

Is the 30-day po

Hi, First, sorry if this is not the correct list. Second, the background story... I was tracking a problem that I have always ignored when updating python on my Gentoo laptop. The problem is that emerge-ing python always fail when FEATURES="test" is on. Usually, I would just turn FEATURES="test"
