Description Brian Harring (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-14 06:25:11 UTC
undocumented in the sense nothing in make.conf.example

installsources
debugsources
severe
mirror
lmirror
sesandbox
livecvsportage (understand the reasoning behind not documenting that hack)

debugsources doesn't exist (as far as grep tells me), where are you finding code that references it?

typo'd it, meant splitdebug.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2007-01-15 15:21:34 UTC
again, make.conf.example should talk about only the common stuff as it isnt a manual ... that's the point of make.conf(5)
Comment 4 Brian Harring (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-15 15:30:17 UTC
tend to disagree personally...
that said, if that's the line you're taking debugsources and severe both would qualify as 'common' stuff in my view.
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2007-01-15 18:31:27 UTC
you think duplicating all of the information in both make.conf man page and make.conf.example makes sense ?
Comment 6 Brian Harring (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-16 00:31:51 UTC
dumb question considering the level of duplication already in place.
Comment 7 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2007-01-16 01:27:54 UTC
no, that's a dumb response

claiming to continue to make poor decisions because they've always been poor is just poor logic

round and round...

as I said, I disagree (and debating it isn't going to change my opinion on the matter, regardless of complaints of duplication).

Meanwhile, as I said in #4, if that's the line you're taking, debugsources and sever both would qualify as 'common' in my view.

This is supposed to be fixed in portage-2.2_pre5 or earlier.
