hi |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
i also believe useing the USE="hard" attempt is the best way to do it, |
| 7 |
because then the user sets the "hard" use flag and can be sure all |
| 8 |
packages that support chroot,stack smashing etc will make use of this |
| 9 |
more secure options, as do mozilla/xchat etc if you have the "crypt" |
| 10 |
flag set |

| I think this is what we should standardize on. It will be harder, but |
| 35 |
| we have to assume that the original ebuild author knows the app the |
| 36 |
| best, but maybe not how to chroot it. Maybe we could be a resource to |
| 37 |
| help tighten existing ebuilds as we come across them. |
| 38 |
| ebuilds are far from generic anyway, and thier advantage is the ability |
| 39 |
| to customize the source and install based on the USE flags. |
