Step back for a minute, and relax. There is a reason you're getting |
17 |
blowback. You're asking for changes that would affect everybody else. |
18 |
This is similar in principle to what Lennart Poettering did, and you're |
19 |
getting the same reaction he got. I understand that *YOU* want changes |
20 |
to how Portage works on *YOUR* machine. No problem. Set |
21 |
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in make.conf. If you want excruciating detail on |
22 |
--depclean then check the small script I posted elsewhere in this |
23 |
thread. Portage has many customization options; use them. |
24 |
|
25 |
If you can't be bothered to use available customization options to set |
26 |
up your machine to your liking, but ask for a change of defaults that |
27 |
also affects everybody else, don't be surprised at the negative reaction. |
28 |
You would've gotten a much better reception, if you had gone to the |
29 |
gentoo-user list and asked "How do I tweak Portage to do this, that, and |
30 |
the other". |
