Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-29 17:46:16 UTC 
Look yourself at the modified pciutils-2.2.4-r3. It's so ridiculous, that it seems  not gzipping this stupid file has to be a coucil decision...

You are absolutely right, its so ridiculous.  Next time, file a useful bug report - like the fact that pciutils even *has* a hal useflag.  We will get to this, but next time, think before opening a bug. Useful reports please.

WTF? When was a "hal" USE flag added? I NEVER heard of this. That is beyond awesome. Someone adds a "hal" USE flag and doesn't tell either of the HAL maintainers, then!! pushes the package to stable.

++ for intelligence & working together

Well, it was also added without any revbump to make built_with_use checks even more impossible. Really wonderful.
