Hmm, the only thought on "patching" the file. As the portage system gets |
| 10 |
larger, it could make a maintenance nightmare as new versions of the app come |
| 11 |
out. If the library stays low, with a good documentation for the user so |
| 12 |
they supplement with their own set, it isnt so much work. But if the portage |
| 13 |
library as released gets large, keeping it up to date with patches seems like |
| 14 |
a pretty large effort. (an example of this problem is OpenBSD. Just put 3.0 |
| 15 |
on, and a lot of the ports dont build/install. Rather annoying.). |

Anyway, just pointing out the potential for a maintenance effort. If all |
| 18 |
ready thought about, then just ignore this input *smile*. |
