You have your userbase ;) In order to reach as many as possible you could create a news item. Or a mailing list post. Ask them on planet.gentoo.org ;) Tell them how good ninja performs :) Ask them to set the generator to ninja in their make.conf to test if their packages still compile. They create bugs for failing packages and you can easily hard code good old emake in the specific packages. As default there probably should always be emake. IMHO a working build system always is better than a fast but potentially broken one :) > > -- > Best regards, > Michał Górny
