Sure, go ahead and attach a category-level patch and I'll be happy to apply it. In fact, all of the modular X ebuilds are similarly undescriptive, so if you'd like to fix all of them, that would be really helpful.

Guess thats an odd way of yours of saying WONTFIX. I filed this bug cuz
I don't know what all those libs do. The entire intention was to help
me and others be better informed about the role each one of the libs.
Right now they simply just seem to be some sed/awk/cut versions of $PN

[Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2006-05-21 13:14:31 UTC]

It's not saying wontfix. It's saying, willfix but don't have time to devote to it, so need a patch from somebody else. You are correct, right now they are all scripted.

[Comment 4 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2006-06-20 23:28:51 UTC]

Someone kindly submitted fixes for media-fonts/ and I applied them, FYI.

[Comment 5 solar (RETIRED) 2006-09-08 15:08:02 UTC]

this bug is probably about fixed as it's going to be.
