this is not correct |
| 13 |
technically econf is a script that has || die in it, but emake def does |
| 14 |
not ... there was discussion some time ago where i tried to push the econf, |
| 15 |
but more vocal people than i won ;) |
| 16 |
the answer is 'do not rely on econf or emake calling die for you' ... if we |
| 17 |
were to move econf out of ebuild.sh and into a wrapper just like emake, we |
| 18 |
would see a nightmare of bugs with people who wrote their ebuilds wrong |
