bugger: |

|

* QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile |
| 7 |
* fine but exhibit random runtime failures. |

* closefromtest.c:46: warning: implicit declaration of function |

‘closefrom’ |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
* Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA |
| 12 |
* issues directly to the upstream developers of this software. |
| 13 |
* Homepage: http://www.openssh.org/ |
| 14 |
* ERROR: net-misc/openssh-5.5_p1-r2 failed: |

This looks really really weird. On the one hand we are saying: "Its a QA |
| 35 |
issue but upstream should fix it." followed by "It so broke, we wont let |
| 36 |
you install it." |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Perhaps qa warnings that fail when FEATURES="stricter", should not point |
| 39 |
to upstream for the fix. Instead we should take responsibility for these |
| 40 |
and consequently allow these bugs to linger in our bugzilla. |
| 41 |
|

What do you tink? |
| 43 |
kind regards |
