Guys, please remember that if you work something around, you should |
2 |
_not_ close the bug as RESO FIXED but keep the bug open so that the |
3 |
issue can be addressed and fixed _properly_. Otherwise we'll end up with |
4 |
ebuilds full of workarounds without even documentation on why the |
5 |
workaround is applied! |
6 |
|
7 |
With workarounds I mean, as examples: |
8 |
|
9 |
- FEATURES=test failures; |
10 |
- broken parallel make that requires -j1; |
11 |
- flags filtering, included -Wl,--no-as-needed appending |
12 |
|
13 |
This is important because: |
14 |
|
15 |
a) we want test to work or get fixed upstream; |
16 |
b) we want users to get parallel build if they request parallel build; |
17 |
c) we want --as-needed to be used, not ignored. |
18 |
|
19 |
If the bug is open and comes out on searches and all the rest, then we |
20 |
have higher chances that someone might _fix_ it, without having to look |
21 |
to see if there actually is one... |
22 |

Thanks! |
