I just noticed that FEATURES="test" is enabled by default in the developer profile, with some other features that make portage more strict. It also looks like the developer profile is not mentioned in the developer docs. What would you think about better advocating usage of the developer profile among developers? Looks like many problems would disappear simply because the maintainer of a given package would hit the problem first (and fix it before it gets into portage). Paweł Hajdan jr
