[gentoo-dev] elibtoolize and when to drop it from an ebuild

[Roy Marples]

Hello List

The BSD team is starting to get a touch irritated by the constant
dropping of elibtoolize from ebuilds. We need this so that we get
nice .so version numbers as well as to fix a few libtool issues on the
BSD platforms.

Just because it's there doesn't mean it's safe to remove as it changes
nothing on your Linux box. But that's OK as I've been adding them back
when I find it dropped with a nice comment about the issue.

I do however take objection when the command AND the comment is removed.
Please stop this as you piss off our users who have to revdep-rebuild
needlessly.

Basically, if it has a fbsd keyword don't drop elibtoolize without
querying us first.

Thanks

Roy
