Anyway, back to your point - yes, there are lots of bugs with patches |
| 9 |
attached that aren't being added to the main tree. And there are lots |
| 10 |
of bugs where the ebuild or fix is ending up in an overlay rather than |
| 11 |
the main tree. It's getting complicated to keep track - all I can |
| 12 |
really advise is that if you'd like to see fixes and ebuilds being |
| 13 |
added to the main tree, then become a developer and start doing it |
| 14 |
(although it is complex for something like gcc compile fixes which are |
| 15 |
spread across packages owned by multiple developers who will get upset |
| 16 |
if you touch their package). |
