Probably a chicken-and-egg thing. I want to play games on my Gentoo
The reason this question is so hard to answer is because it is not a
technical question, it is a moral and ethical one. The links presented
start to approach the issue being discussed in this light but do not
entirely accept the right question. I suspect this is because it seems
rather absurd.

Regardless, it would probably be useful to contact the people from the
Debian project who were interested in forking it. It's likely Gentoo would
end up using a fair amount of their work at some point.

Oh. I've had to use that, even. I was thinking patches of ebuilds. (???)

Solved!

Hello,
So, I use euse to read aobut flags. Sometimes the same flag has slightly,
but significantly different meanings depending on the packages it
is use on. A tool with perhaps more detail or that parse the ebuild/sources
for even greater detail information?
I also use Ciaran's old (filter)scri

When in doubt I just read the ebuild and try to understand what's going on.
A policy would be nice, though, and sometimes even reading the ebuild
leaves me guessing.
As you point out, saying "foo: enables libfoo" leaves me wandering "OK, but
what the f* would I need foo for??"

So I currently have lxde installed, and clearly there are bugs
with upgrading directly to lxqt-meta, on gentoo. But, these
0.8.0 ebuilds collectively have been moved from the overlay for
lxqt on gentoo. to the portage tree, and hard masked (red on my system).
I'm building up on new btrfs

Hey list
during yesterday's upgrade I read the news about python 3.4 being the
new profile default. In its course a lot of python-related packages were
indeed rebuilt (up until then I had set PYTHON_TARGETS to 2.7, 3.3 and
3.4 manually due to blender, which already required 3.4). But in the
