when trying to emerge dev-libs/nspr-4.6.8, it fails on the QA check: >>> Completed installing nspr-4.6.8 into /var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/nspr-4.6.8/image/ strip: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strip --strip-unneeded -R .comment usr/lib64/nspr/libnspr4.so.6 usr/lib64/nspr/libplds4.so.6 usr/lib64/nspr/libplc4.so.6 usr/lib64/nspr/libplc4.a usr/lib64/nspr/libnspr4.a usr/lib64/nspr/libplds4.a * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile * fine but exhibit random runtime failures. * ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/io/prfdcach.c:165: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/io/prfdcach.c:224: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/misc/prthinfo.c:109: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/misc/prthinfo.c:235: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/pthreads/ptio.c:899: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules * Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA * issues directly to the upstream developers of this software. * Homepage: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/ * * ERROR: dev-libs/nspr-4.6.8 failed. * Call stack: * misc-functions.sh, line 609: Called install_qa_check * misc-functions.sh, line 324: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * [[ ${abort} == "yes" ]] && hasq stricter ${FEATURES} && die "poor code kills airplanes" * The die message: * poor code kills airplanes Though the above message says that I should contact the nspr developers - this package is marked as stable in portage, but still does not emerge. either don't mark it stable, or make sure that it emerges. or: how do I turn off the QA check?
