Greets,
So while gearing up for the Summer of Code, I noted a lot of things that
I had come to accept as normal that I feel should not be so. Things
like the danger of depclean or the way portage will only show one mask
at a time. So I was curious...what have people that are /not/ myself
and my mate noticed that is mildly irritating and disruptive to the
Gentoo experience?
I just thought of this one. Sometimes devs love to change ebuilds
without bumping them. That's annoying; a bug gets fixed and you don't
know about it because "emerge -u" doesn't find any newer version or
revision. It would be helpful in this case if emerge had an option to
check if the installed ebuild differs from the one in the tree/overlays.
