12 +1; RESTRICT=sandbox shouldn't exist.

14 If you want to write an ebuild for some commercial broken stuff that
15 doesn't work w/ sandbox and stick it into some overlay, then stick
16
17 if has sandbox ${FEATURES} ; then
18 eerror "This thing is FUBAR with sandbox"
19 die "If you really want to install it, disable sandbox manually"
20 fi
21
22 into pkg_setup and be done with it; no need for RESTRICT=sandbox or
23 ACCEPT_RESTRICT. Users can decide whether they really wish to install
24 such app and disable sandbox temporarily if they think it's a good idea.
25
26 If you'd like to commit this to the official tree, then either fix it
27 properly or don't commit such stuff at all.
