Just a side hint. Try to enable all flags at the first cimpile time would |
| 38 |
reduce trys drasticaly ;) |
| 39 |
So you say a developer cant't test all useflags? That is a strange |
| 40 |
message from you. How can a developer garantee that his package is correct. |
| 41 |
Realy funny, i only hear exuses but no real solution for the problem. |
| 42 |
The fact is, that long outstanding bugs are simple ignored. If a useflag |
| 43 |
would only apply to one package it could be ok, but not when the same |
| 44 |
useflag is in other packages and makes this one useflag for the "normal user" |
| 45 |
unusable. |
