I will bring some examples on this package but they can be applyed to |
| 15 |
others too. |
| 16 |
Bob is a sys-admin. |
| 17 |
Bob manage a firewall happily up and running with gentoo, Bob use |
| 18 |
iptables emerged with USE="extensions" because he want and use l7 to let |
| 19 |
users only web browsing on port 80. |
| 20 |
Bob is a good admin so he updates very often his firewall probably with |
| 21 |
"emerge -uDav --newuse world", the day that iptables-1.3 comes out |
| 22 |
*without* l7 support he is running that update, ... but Jenny the nicest |
| 23 |
girl of the whole office maybe of the planet is finally asking him to |
| 24 |
have a coffe with she. |
| 25 |
Bob has sucessfully done that emerge so many times that he decided to |
| 26 |
not loose that opportunity and so tadaaa the screen will left alone and |
| 27 |
all messages outputted from ebuilds ignored. |
| 28 |
We can bet that Bob will not be happy after finished to have the coffe. |
