Since it does not seem to be too popular, to let "dobin, etc." die, i |
| 12 |
would suggest writing a big fat red "QA: command 'dobin xyz' failed" on |
| 13 |
the screen, so that even the last user notices that. Perhaps also |
| 14 |
writing those QA-warnings to emerge.log? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Is that aready done at the moment? If not, i would suggest that - and |
| 17 |
actually i would rather like that "dobin, etc." die on error. |

Well, but some people here claim, that the ebuilds are not tested that |
| 20 |
much, before they go into portage. Well, that's another decision: what |
| 21 |
should gentoo's quality be like? |
