After unmerging mono-tools so Portage could finally run a whole |
| 6 |
update, it stopped halfway through because of this bug: |

I noticed that several users have commented with a relevant complaint: |
| 10 |
GCC-4.x is required by the ebuild, but no information is ever conveyed |
| 11 |
to the end user about this fact. The ebuild does not have a |
| 12 |
dependency on GCC-4.x. |

Try reading the bug - users are basically being shoved off with an |
| 15 |
arrogant silence and a stamp on their forehead saying INVALID. |

Nothing personal against Jakub Moc who probably has a lot to do, but |
| 18 |
the handling of relevant issues raised in the bugzilla is just |
| 19 |
unacceptable. |

What's the state of Portage and Gentoo in general? Is there not |
| 22 |
enough hands to do a proper job? Or is it just that none of the devs |
| 23 |
see what's wrong because bugs are wrongly being closed marked |
| 24 |
"INVALID" such as the above when they're in fact not? |
