4 Hi
5
6 I'm using the ~x86 portage tree and emerge every new package as soon as it is
7 available.
8 Some times is watch gcc work and occasionally see some compiler warnings
9 (unused variables, missing function definitions,...)
10
11 - From my own little experience in C and C++ I know that a warning can turn into
12 a full blown error sometimes.
13
14 Would it be of any use to report the warnings to the developers or will they
15 ignore it as they may have ignored them when compiling the software
16 themselves?
17
18 How should I report the warnings? Via bugs.gentoo.org or directly to the
19 software developers?
20
21 Is there an easy way to collect all warnings in a file when doing an 'emerge
22 - -u world'?
