What is the proper procedure to ask for some modification in a ebuild? |
2 |
(Bugs as well as feature requests...) |

|
4 |
My current concrete example: gtk+ 3.* has a configuration option |
5 |
--enable-debug=[no/minimum/yes] (default=debug_default) |
6 |
|
7 |
There is no USE variable to control this. From what I [think I] |
8 |
understood, the default is set in the source file configure.ac, which |
9 |
sets debug_default to "yes"! This has the effect that it is impossible |
10 |
to launch gtk applications (e.g., zathura) from a terminal and still |
11 |
do something useful with the terminal, which gets spammed no-end with |
12 |
obnoxious messages about stuff the user cannot do anything about, |
13 |
anyway. |
14 |
|
15 |
If I'm not mistaken about the effect of --enable-debug, this |
16 |
upstream-caused problem would be easily fixed for gentooers. |
