Some years ago as a Gentoo beginner I read the documentation of |
| 15 |
FEATURES and enabled "test", because it sounded useful. After one week |
| 16 |
I disabled it again as merges took too long and some failures occured. |
| 17 |
Read: As a normal user I don't want src_test for every single package |
| 18 |
that is installed on my system for whatever reason. FEATURES=test is |
| 19 |
perfect for people who help maintain the distribution or want to test a |
| 20 |
specific subset of packages they heavily rely on. |
| 21 |
So imposing that penalty on everyone even the unexperienced will |
| 22 |
likely confuse some people. Go to the forums or the support mailing |
| 23 |
list to see what I mean. |
