While that bug explains your issues with the webapp people in general and |
| 12 |
stuart in particular it is not related to webapp-config at all. |

Looking at that bug, and the issues discussed in this thread I do get to |
| 15 |
the point where I feel that instead of buggering people about packages, |
| 16 |
it would perhaps be better to get those features into portage whose |
| 17 |
absense causes the problems. The quality of the distribution would be |
| 18 |
better suited with a portage that supports USE-flag dependencies, |
| 19 |
dependencies between useflags in a package, sourcefile renaming / |
| 20 |
DIST_PREFIX, etc. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Once that is supported, I'm also sure that those people involved will be |
| 23 |
more than happy to fix their ebuilds to use those features. I do agree |
| 24 |
with them though that the distribution should not be held back by missing |
| 25 |
features in portage. Especially since those features have been missing |
| 26 |
(recognized as such) for ages. |
