Some think of this as a big issue.
This is Gentoo. If the user chooses to run a particular reason of a package for his own reason, that choice should be allowed. Gentoo users should not be protected form themselves, that's why we have /etc/portage, to change the developers' defaults. Some of us like to live dangerously, I put sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.17 in my package.keywords yesterday. I'm sure there's a reason the devs haven't keyworded it for ~ppc, but I wanted to try it - it hasn't fallen over... yet :) -- Neil Bothwick Windoze95 Quote: Why is the Pentium 166 so fast? - Its for booting faster, if Windows crashed again.
