Thats not just Amen, that actually _is_ a big Problem if you are |
| 9 |
administrating some servers that are supposed to provide high quality |
| 10 |
services. |
| 11 |
|

One of the reasons for this is, as good as it is and i like it very much, |
| 13 |
portage. And a very timeconsuming thing is having to update things when there |
| 14 |
is no need to do so. I could easily bypass this problem by creating my own |
| 15 |
portage tree and modifying ebuilds. Some do so. That can get timeconsuming, |
| 16 |
especially when the official portage tree changes a lot in basic ebuilds, and |
| 17 |
additionally i would loose some very nice portage features. So far i came to |
| 18 |
the conclusion not to use gentoo on my servers and instead join gentoo-dev. I |
| 19 |
am happy to see that there is some progess with portage as can be verified on |
| 20 |
the project pages :) |

Having to update comments in some configuration files on each of the servers |
| 23 |
is silly and a waste of time that someone has to pay for. No need for this. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If i dont update the comments after some time i will end up with differing |
| 26 |
documentation (the one in man make.conf and the comments in make.conf) |
| 27 |
that can cause more harm then good. No, i dont want comments in configuration |
| 28 |
files. And yes, i deleted all cruft from my apache.conf, squid.conf, |
| 29 |
whatever.conf. |
