We have mailing lists for discussions, bugzilla is not a discussion forum. Move this to gentoo-desktop ML. Thanks. The package maintainers requested feedback on this issue here so I complied. If this is in fact incorrect, then the text of http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-split-ebuilds.xml needs to be corrected. --- If you prefer the monolithic ebuilds over the split ones, please tell us your reasons. --- On this page the words "tell us" is a link to bugzilla. I have no personal issues with this bug being labeled "won't fix" or deleted if the kde maintainers have seen this. But the RESOLVED UPSTREAM label is confusing. Does that mean that kde.org will be abandoning their current package structure in favor of 330+ small packages? If kde.org continues to release monolithic packages and Gentoo does not support them IT IS A BUG.. I won't reopen this again if someone has seen this reply and "resolves" it once more. As said above, send your feedback to relevant place - gentoo-desktop or gentoo-dev mailing list. Bugzilla is NOT a discussion forum. |
