I would like to thanks Tom Veldhouse! |

Without him I would be running a 'crashed' Gentoo Linux because I was |
| 20 |
about to make a emerge rsync when I red his email. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Even if he made a mistake in what he said, that's all understable, I |
| 23 |
would have made the same thing: first post an alert asap THEN get a look |
| 24 |
on the ChangeLog ! |
| 25 |
And even if this portage revision should never have been in the stable |
| 26 |
tree, we don't have to forget that we're humans, that we can make errors |
| 27 |
(even more when we're something to make something useful) and that |
| 28 |
backup is the only real way to have our data safe! |

Thanks again Tom, |
| 31 |
PS: sorry for my english ;) |
