I'm confused. In the message to which I replied, you stated that the |
| 18 |
problem with the Debian tree is that it does not remain *exactly* the |
| 19 |
same, namely that bug fixes and security fixes are added. That is why I |
| 20 |
suggested that you can achieve this quite simply on Gentoo by not |
| 21 |
syncing. If you meant something else in your previous message, could |
| 22 |
you please explain it? |
