Here's a reasonably complete list: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
* Crash bug in Xft (Bugs: Gentoo #85153, fd.o #1958, fd.o #1951) |
| 21 |
* Fix major slowdowns because of bogus /usr/share/fonts/fonts circular |
| 22 |
symlink, from weird interactions in the migration to /usr functions. |
| 23 |
This still needs a little more work, however. |
| 24 |
* I'm not sure whether sparc has any issues with lib64 now or in the |
| 25 |
future, but that's cleaner on -r2 |
| 26 |
* GCC-4 compile fixes |
| 27 |
* Cleaner use of opengl-update, avoiding a number of problems with stale |
| 28 |
symlinks etc |
| 29 |
* Less problems with USE=doc build |
| 30 |
* The constant errors for the `find` syntax are fixed, in the ebuild and |
| 31 |
the xfs init script |
| 32 |
* xdm init script cleanly shuts down, instead of erroring out |
| 33 |
* fc-cache isn't forced, which allows cleaner unmerges and stops |
| 34 |
overwriting other font packages' files |
| 35 |
* Hardened builds more consistently because of use of has_hardened |
| 36 |
instead of USE flag |
| 37 |

Not gonna happen, ever. I'm not interested in dealing with all the crap |
| 43 |
that unmasked weekly un-QA'd, untested snapshots will bring. |

Yep. |
