Description Troy Telford 2005-11-16 09:30:30 UTC
I think this falls under the category of "How long will it take somebody to 
notice this?"

When emerging app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.0-r3, I noticed the following:

...
 * Applying qpkg-deprecated.patch ...                                            
   [ ok ]
 * Applying revdep-rebuild.112099.patch ...                                      
   [ ok ]
>>> Source unpacked.
echo "YARMOUTH (vb.) To shout at foreigners in the belief that the louder you 
speak, the better they'll understand you."

the better they'll understand you.
echo "`python-config | sed 's/-l//' | sed 's/ -lm.*//'`"
python2.4
echo 0.2.0
...

While expanding the vocabulary of portage users is a noble goal, I don't see 
this as a useful method of getting there.

Actually it falls under the category of humor.  While you are correct that it is
not needed, it isn't going to go away anytime soon.
