1 Hi,
2
3 Don't use debug.eclass.
4
5 A team of crackpot developers gangbanged the tree (hi beu!) and remove
6 all the nasty inherit lines, and then Diego added a deprecation message
7 in the eclass.
8
9 People with overlays utilizing debug.eclass will get many annoying
10 messages prompting them to stop inheriting debug eclass. This was done
11 intentionally to prompt overlay owners to fix their ebuilds.
12
13 If you inherit the eclass in gentoo-x86, repoman will spam the hell out
14 of you during your commit, so DON'T DO IT.
15
16 Thanks,
17
18 Alec and Diego, and Ryan Hill, and some other people I'm leaving out.
