Nope, but I am raising donations to fund an instructive manual on the usage |
14 |
of the NEEDINFO resolution. |

Que? Are you saying that because portage is in English that people that |
26 |
don't speak English don't use Gentoo? I would have to disagree. |

If you think that getting the occasional bug report in a language you aren't |
29 |
familiar with is annoying, imagine how not being able to get any build output |
30 |
you can read might feel, especially if the reason is only because some dev |
31 |
couldn't be bothered to occasionally ask someone to repost an error message in |
32 |
English. |

This reminds me of the time someone wanted to ban inline `emerge --info` |
35 |
postings in bugzilla (ie. attachments only) because they found scrolling |
36 |
through them bothersome. |

In other words, suck it up. |
