Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-13 00:04:34 UTC
Hello,

you're receiving this canned bug because the package in summary uses the flag -Werror during build, which transforms warnings in errors, and is prone to break software when new GCC releases are added to Gentoo.

Please make sure your package does not use -Werror during build, so that it can be more future-proof for the new GCC releases.

Thanks,
Diego
