Well, with people being intentionally rude, it seems like a nicely |
13 |
developed and mature sense of community... |

Well, some people wait for a non < 1.0 release. I know I did. |

What?!?!?! You just stated that the documentation isn't comparably |
25 |
mature. Actually, you stated that it wasn't comparably mature, and |
26 |
that it's quite nice. Or maybe it's just the code that's quite nice. |
27 |
Perhaps you could clarify. Or, being intentionally rude, perhaps you |
28 |
won't. |

In the comparably less mature documentation? Are you talking about |
33 |
the Portage Manual section 1, under Defaults, which talks about profiles |
34 |
only in the context of default and auto USE variables (and not to change |
35 |
make.defaults under make.profile/)? |
36 |
|
37 |
Perhaps there's another profile documentation section which describes |
38 |
how profiles should be used by the user to submit bug reports for |
39 |
the current profile? Not the Portage User Guid. The word profile |
40 |
doesn't exist there. |
41 |
|
42 |
I think these kind of rants would be more effective with pointers |
43 |
to the exact sections of documentation being referenced. Because |
44 |
as I enter my 7th day of reading gentoo docs, I'm not seeing them. |
