It could even be written to show a big fat warning. i know ... it isnt uncommon to see like `install -s` or `$(STRIP)` in packages and those need to be removed while this is a neat idea (catching those people who do `install -s`), i'm not sure it'd work as there isnt a clean way to detect whether it's the package calling `strip` or the ebuild/portage ... you could try passing info via an env var, but that's no fun :) -mike -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
