Description Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2012-08-14 14:53:16 UTC 
Can we please add a call to epatch_user in src_prepare? When eapi5 hits, it can simply be changed to apply_user_patches.
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-08-16 17:47:42 UTC 
we don't generally add epatch_user to all packages, we do it for ones that get commonly patched.  which coreutils is not.  so you need to provide justification.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2012-08-17 17:14:39 UTC 
have you even tried building coreutils with USE="acl xattr" ?

Yup, the example from "A Simple Example" on that page was done with coreutils[acl,xattr].
