| 5 | My current view is that "sed patches" should only be used where |
| 6 | "static" patches don't work, ignoring laziness (including mine) |
| 7 | for the moment. |

| 9 | Why do you feel sed patches are a good thing? Who but the ebuild |
| 10 | writer would prefer that to patches? For instance isn't it much |
| 11 | easier to share patches among distros than parts of very distro- |
| 12 | specific scripts, ebuilds in our case? |
