1 Hello All,
2
3 After recent changes in dev-lang/v8 and related ebuilds, the pax-mark call no
4 longer has a || die. This means that the resulting binaries may have PT_PAX,
5 XATTR_PAX, both or neither markings depending on kernel configuration,
6 filesystem and mount options.
7
8 I'd say that is not a good thing. If you agree with me, what could be done
9 here? Have pax-mark die in the eclass or mandate || die in ebuilds? This
10 would probably require pax-mark calls to be conditional on pax_kernel USE
11 flag or similar.
