Description Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2010-09-11 09:36:27 UTC 
The ebuild is marked as interactive and calls check_license.
However, when a user has the PUEL license already accepted via ACCEPT_LICENSE, the license is not shown and is already implicitly accepted. So the interactive flag is useless and on top of that quite annoying when it forces a -vauDN world to be --jobs 1.

So please make sure the PUEL license is in the EULA group and rely on ACCEPT_LICENSE.
