This is a problem I see for years. I always record QA warning via PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error log qa" PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save_summary" That way I ensure to review QA warnings to try to fix them. The problem is that it also includes warnings like those: QA Notice: Package triggers severe warnings which indicate that it may exhibit random runtime failures. file-utils.c:694:9: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strcasecmp' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA issues directly to the upstream developers of this software. Long time ago I was reporting them to relevant upstreams... at some point I was bored of reporting them and seeing how they were ignoring them most of the times. One problem that warnings have is that they can be long. I think it would be interesting to allow to skip that "qa-upstream" checks if possible Thanks a lot
