1 Hi guys,
2
3 In last 3 days i recompiled chromium 3x
4
5 1x rebuild for cups useflag
6 1x update
7 1x rebuild for cups useflag
8
9 If you screw the ebuild up then always think if the change is worth
10 the stupid long recompile time.
11 Like it is not enough there is version bump every few days...
12 Just alter only live ebuild and branch of it with each release and do
13 not alter the releases unless really critical bug is there. People are
14 patient and they can wait for bugfixes.

16 Imagine that I would adopt your approach with libreoffice. I suppose
17 people would chain me to some wall and use as target practice as
18 result fo my actions :)
