17 Thanks for going to the trouble to report this, but just to let you know,
18 this list isn't for reporting bugs such as the above, but rather for
19 general discussion of Gentoo development related issues. To report a bug,
20 use Gentoo Bugzilla, at http://bugs.gentoo.org. You'll need to create a
21 bugzilla account and follow the guided bug reporting process (which
22 unfortunately isn't entirely intuitive), but that's how Gentoo tracks a
23 lot of stuff, including but not limited to bugs.
24
25 There's also the portage-devel list, if you wish to discuss portage
26 development, but again, that's not for reporting bugs, but for portage
27 development specific discussion.

29 Again, thanks, as bugs that haven't been reported can't easily be fixed
30 as we'd like. This just isn't the right place. =8^)
