Comment 1 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2007-03-24 17:48:29 UTC
We aren't really interested in this stuff without patches.
And it begs the question why it STILL spams this stuff (with a beep still I believe) to regular users.
Besides over half of the warnings listed here are from inside mozilla-firefox headers, not epiphany.
Comment 2 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2007-06-29 15:36:35 UTC
2.18.2 fixed some of these.
Remaining with mozilla-firefox crap filtered out:

 * QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
 *            fine but exhibit random runtime failures.
