Yeah, this is why I want FEATURES=test turned on for dev profiles. By the |
15 |
sheer number of packages that fail, it's obvious that most devs don't enable |
16 |
it. I know that some people will still disable it again, but I'm hoping it |
17 |
will at least raise the visibility of these problems. |

I try to file bugs for packages that fail, especially at gcc-porting time |
20 |
since we rely on testsuites to detect miscompiled code or other problems. So |
21 |
a failure-free tree is something I'd like to work towards, even if it is a |
22 |
pipe dream. |
