Thinking on it a little more, that wouldn't be a good way to go. We |
| 30 |
can't really rely on lsb_release being present, especially if Portage |
| 31 |
is being run on FreeBSD or a more exotic prefix; sys-apps/lsb-release |
| 32 |
isn't even installed on my relatively 'normal' amd64 Gentoo Linux |
| 33 |
machine. Additionally, it wouldn't have the bug URL even if it were |
| 34 |
present. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
We can therefore strike the PMS bits and the patch from the proposal. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
If there are no other objections to this proposal, would a PR that |
| 40 |
implements this against the Gentoo tree be the best way forward? If |
| 41 |
so, I can start work on that now while giving more people the chance |
| 42 |
to read over it. (Would it be more desirable to have all changes in a |
| 43 |
single large commit, or one commit per package?) |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Best, |
