i already told you in the bug that i wasnt going to be making the major |
| 13 |
changes over the precious holiday season (changing all ebuilds to IUSE=xml |
| 14 |
from IUSE=xml2) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
the only changes that are happening now are in samba/php/pykota/sitecopy ... |
| 17 |
the samba/pykota maintainer noted that the xml stuff is hardly used, while |
| 18 |
the sitecopy stuff only exists in the older ebuilds |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
as for your php, the changes affect only dev-lang/php which: |
| 21 |
- you php guys yourselves have declared dev-lang/php *incomplete* -> thus it |
| 22 |
is *not* meant to be used on production systems |
| 23 |
- theres already a friggin billion USE flags in php so anyone upgrading php |
| 24 |
should know enough to check `emerge -pv` output to see what kind of crazy |
| 25 |
stuff has changed for who knows what reasons |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
if an IT dept is stupid enough to use such clearly alpha packages on their |
| 28 |
production systems, not to mention trying to upgrade it "during the holiday |
| 29 |
season, when IT departments are going to be understaffed at best", then they |
| 30 |
deserve to get their stupid ass fired |
