So that's either because of an ebuild bug (incorrect DEPEND) or an |
| 8 |
upstream bug (e.g. incorrect PKG_CONFIG_CHECK in configure.ac), right? |

It seems to me that waiting (random()=30) days and then testing |
| 11 |
against (random()=current-version) libbaz in stable isn't amazing. :) |

The ebuild bug could be detected automatically for upstreams using |
| 14 |
configure.ac and maybe also cmake. |

The upstream bug, well, that's a bit more tricky. |

I'll try to write a thoughtful response in the other part of this |
