the threashold is, that this is a warning about a function used in ebuilds to use a certain eclass, which is even more ebuild stuff. And correcting ebuilds is dev stuff. No need for geekiness threshold - if it is about ebuilds and eclasses, it is for devs. Heck, every problem/warning about an ebuild is for devs. If there is a message for the user, it is usually very easy to recognize. Stuff like: 'after updating package FOO to version X.Y.Z-r3 you need to rebuilt package BAR' is obviously for you, the user. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
