Ciaran/Company actually are subtly wrong on this one. Reason is |
| 13 |
miscommunication/misreading. |

Quoting the original flamebait posting by patrick- |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
""" |
| 19 |
Test case is: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
FEATURES="strict" # test and stricter fail |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
in make.conf ... <flamebait> |
| 24 |
""" |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Note 'make.conf'. User configuration. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Not make.profile, or any other profile file. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Meaning not under PMS jurisdiction, via the line in the sand ciaran |
| 31 |
has drawn to exclude portage configuration from PMS. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Now if the discussion *was* about profile files, yes, inline comments |
| 34 |
are not allowed due to backwards compatibility requirements. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
In other words, ciaran is wrong about make.conf, but right about |
| 37 |
make.defaults and friends, which is what he probably interpretted the |
| 38 |
thread about. Screwups happen, unfortunately w/ the air of gentoo-dev |
| 39 |
being one of hostility, it sprawls into mega-threads like this. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Either way, this isn't particularly relevant to -dev; belongs on |
| 42 |
-project at best, else the paludis mls due to it being a discussion of |
| 43 |
paludis incompatibility with existing portage configuration support. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Hopefully the statements above clear up any further reason for this |
| 46 |
thread to continue, so kindly leave it dead/buried. |
