Ah ok, I just thought it would be easier, to get things going and catch |
| 12 |
up with upstream, to release an ebuild that only supports the suid mode |
| 13 |
of operation, and then, taking the necessary time, improve it in future |
| 14 |
releases, rather than supporting all the features right from the |
| 15 |
beginning. |
