No. And many gave up getting this sensible again. |
| 26 |
As is, the default USE flags for a desktop profile lead to a compilation |
| 27 |
failure when unattended due to this, which is very very bad. |

At one point I thought I will simply not stabilize GNOME-2.18 until |
| 30 |
pciutils is fixed to follow what upstream wants, what most other |
| 31 |
maintainers wish, and what is sensible to do. I see no reason whatsoever |
| 32 |
for this gzipping, not even for embedded devices as a gzipped file can't |
| 33 |
be mmapped. |
| 34 |
Then I realized GNOME-2.16 compilation for a fresh system with desktop |
| 35 |
profiles is broken now also anyhow. |
