Maybe I'm being too simplistic here but when I wrote the FEATURE=bindist |
| 23 |
for catalyst the intent was to help the user maintain an obviously |
| 24 |
desired compliance to law and legally redistribute what they are making. |
| 25 |
There are numerous packages that have USE=bindist to allow legal |
| 26 |
redistribution of content, honestly I'm a bit surprised to hear that I'm |
| 27 |
supposed to read every ebuild to see that a package has |
| 28 |
RESTRICT=bindist... emerge certainly doesn't seem to care. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
RESTRICT=bindist really needs to be more assertive, especially if the |
| 31 |
user has USE=bindist set. A warning from quickpkg simply isn't enough |
| 32 |
here in my eyes. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
The user is distinguishing right from wrong by setting things like |
| 35 |
USE=bindist, portage simply doesn't seem to be respecting that in the |
| 36 |
case of RESTRICT=bindist. It seems simple enough to me for portage to |
| 37 |
check the environment and refuse to build packages with RESTRICT=bindist |
| 38 |
when USE=bindist is set... I mean it's supposed to RESTRICT me from |
| 39 |
bindist and I'm telling portage I intend to bindist.... |
