Not sure what paludis does if it finds a * instead a */* in some |
19 |
config file, but does it actually break the system or cause serious |
20 |
upgrade or compatibility problems (e.g. like the upgrade to gcc 3.4, |
21 |
as mentioned as example in the GLEP)? |
22 |
If not, it sounds like an issue for elog. |
23 |
If yes, the "should update" part may need some stronger language like |
24 |
"you must update". |
