Donnie, |

In my 4 years of experience with this package and maintaining it and |
| 17 |
contributing patches upstream. You don't think I've suggested it? You |
| 18 |
don't think I've tweaked this ebuild to work as best as possible for our |
| 19 |
users? |

I know the other thing I didn't answer was the fact that some variables |
| 22 |
aren't quoted. It doesn't matter at all considering their configure |
| 23 |
script can't handle spaces in the path names anyway. We've been though |
| 24 |
that already. Additionally, qmake can't handle spaces in there even if |
| 25 |
you do quote so it really doesn't matter much. |

Some of these review changes truly feel like working at a company where |
| 28 |
you know the ins and outs of your tool. You can rattle off its |
| 29 |
capabilities to a millimeter. A new boss/manager comes in and has no |
| 30 |
idea what the tool is or the mission but by god he knows how to do your |
| 31 |
job better and you will follow his procedures. It makes no difference if |
| 32 |
his steps have no effect on the tool and waste more of your time. You |
| 33 |
additionally have to start giving him progress reports on how you're |
| 34 |
doing using his procedures, which instantly means you get less work done. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
That's what this commits review list feels like. |
