Description steffen_brauer 2023-08-08 07:17:27 UTC
For future reference the ebuild should annotate, that by removing the compat-directory during src_prepare a lot of licensing and attribution burden (BSD-3, zlib,...) is lifted from the user and it is a good idea to keep removing the directory.

Reproducible: Always
