It doesn't ignore what the user wants. It just doesn't look where you |
26 |
think it should. |

If someone really wants to use newer packages to bootstrap, they can |
29 |
edit the packages file in their profile. Otherwise things can |
30 |
potentially break and we get more bug reports. |
31 |
|
32 |
I actually believe that the package versions in the profile should |
33 |
probably be upped because it's somewhat outdated. However, if you want |
34 |
to tune your settings for bootstrap, do it in places other than |
35 |
make.conf and don't file bug reports if something breaks in the process. |
36 |
|
37 |
Users can do anything they want in make.conf after bootstapping. |
38 |
|

If someone has a special need to use newer packages during bootstrap, |
40 |
they can edit profiles/<profile>/packages. |
