To me, that is intolerable on production code with a version number of 2.2.0. |
| 27 |
It' supposed to be mature, it's not supposed to trash it's own data store! |
| 28 |
What o you think would happen if Firefox dumped it's browser history and |
| 29 |
cookies once a week in sync with phases of the moon? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
If any vendor tried to sell me crap code like that at work, they would be out |
| 32 |
the door on their arse |

1.4 links to kdelibs-3.5 right? I just spent nearly a year getting rid of 3.5 |
| 44 |
apps... |

that looks like you built amarok with binutils-2.20. It affects many apps. Try |
| 57 |
downgrade binutils, rebuild offending apps and see if it makes a difference. |
| 58 |
Or you could try rebuild current binutils with USE=gold. I have no idea what |
| 59 |
it does, but there's a few references on b.g.o. about this working in some |
| 60 |
cases. |
