And that's exactly for what I use the $Id$ header. |
| 30 |
I am completely against removal of this header line. It does _not_ do |
| 31 |
any harm and I don't understand why people want it to be removed so |
| 32 |
badly. |
| 33 |
Now QA again wants to do a questionable action _without_ any approval |
| 34 |
from neither infra nor council. Sorry guys but this is not how things |
| 35 |
work. The official answer from infra regarding $Id$ gives enough good |
| 36 |
examples why this header line should be kept. |
| 37 |
This $Id$ header line is the only way how I can safely keep official |
| 38 |
ebuilds and ebuilds from my overlay in sync. I don't like getting my |
| 39 |
workflows sabotaged and I consider this a pure act of sabotage... |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
How about QA finally starts acting on useful issues or at least do |
| 42 |
actions that make sense? |
