19:08           needle | icecream is based on distcc  
19:08       Jannik2099 | no it's not?
19:08           needle | Description
19:09           needle |  Distributed compiling of C(++) code across several machines; based on distcc
19:09           needle | eix sys-devel/icecream
19:09             sam_@| i think that's a misleading description
19:09       Jannik2099 | maybe that used to be, but there's no distcc code left in icecream                
19:09 >>     username234 <<|  needle: be careful with ebuild and metadata descriptions. They're not        
          authoritative and in some cases wrong.                                                           
19:10           needle | In that case, I am just a user.                                                   
19:10           needle | you are the experts :)                                                            
19:10           needle | But noted username234                                                             
19:11           needle | Should I open a bug report for misleading package description on icecream?        
19:11           needle | Then give me hints, I'll do that.                                                 
19:12 >>     username234 <<|  needle: you can, but you'll be required to provide proof. Argue your proof is
          correct. Possibly write the patch only to spend much more time arguing over obscure corner-cases
          of the English language.                                                                    
19:13      username234 | and then (if you're lucky) the patch will get applied.                       
19:13       Jannik2099 | that's a tad over the top                                                    
19:13           needle | oh man, keep some positive thinking. Even sam_ mentioned that is a misleading
          description.                                                                                
19:13           needle | I can attach the log from here as proof.                                     
19:14             sam_@| lmao that's so over the top                                                  
19:14       Jannik2099 | the description is obviously misleading, old, and wrong                     
19:14 >>            sam_@<<|  needle: :)                                                             
19:14       Jannik2099 | just copy upstreams "  Distributed compiler with a central scheduler to share
          build load Resources"
19:14           needle | OK. i suggest that.  
19:14       Jannik2099 | oops, ignore that "Resources" part
