1 Hi, I was directed to this list after my Portage patches were rejected.
2 I'm hoping that someone *other* than the rejecter will look at the bug,
3 and: See it as a valid bug, reopen it, and take SpanKY's keyboard away
4 so he can't reject it again.

6 The bug is: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139842

8 Executive Summary: built_with_use returns the opposite answer to what
9 it should, when the package referred to is not installed. I provided
10 patches to stop that broken behaviour. People decided to talk about some
11 mystical third state which doesn't exist in Boolean logic, and ended up
12 convinced that black is white. And then proceeded to get themselves run
13 over at the next Zebra crossing.
