This might be a possible language barrier; please note that "we do not encourage this" can be interpreted as "we encourage that you do not do this" but also as "we have no encouragement for this", whether it implies that we do or do not advice a choice depends on the context. Regardless, lots of people encourage others to not mix their system or use --autounmask-write in a careless way; in other words, they encourage them to only use it if they must and to be careful in how they do this. That's at least the impression that I get from our support places; in my personal opinion, I think that is the way it should be used. The goal should be for the file to be a sane solution for the user that needs it; it shouldn't become a file that is filled with all kinds of suggestions Portage can throw at you, some just aren't sane to do. Every other post shouldn't be the goal, it should be the exception... -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
