Long bitter hard experience has shown me that if I get A blocks B |
| 6 |
messages, I usually have to: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
eix A |
| 9 |
eix B |
| 10 |
read A's ebuild |
| 11 |
read B's ebuild |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
then and only then do I have enough information to know what to do about |
| 14 |
it. Portage does well at telling you that blockers are present and |
| 15 |
where they are coming from, but is completely useless at giving good |
| 16 |
reasons why and what the best resolution is. |
