I hope the USE variable was entirely too rich. I shortened it |
32 |
considerably and saved the make.conf file so some duplicate work can be |
33 |
speeded up. I'm taking the system to bare metal and will use the |
34 |
make.conf file I have without earlier steps that are causing several |
35 |
packages to compile fail. |
36 |
I will be curious if I get further this next time. |
37 |
More later when I discover and I'll search ansifilter on other linux |
38 |
flavors since that to my mind is a seriously useful program when handling |
39 |
typescript files. |
