Description Tom Noonan 2011-05-09 01:19:34 UTC

While a nice feature for new users, many older users feel that functionality akin to the "searching for similar names..." feature is unnecessary and a waste of resources.  Personally I prefer that when I typo an input to a command the command simply report the error and stop.  I don't need portage to try and figure out what I mean, and I don't want it to waste the power to do so.  I prefer portage to do what I say, and error out otherwise.

I ask that the devs please allow users to disable this new functionality via a config option.  Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

I believe this was addressed in bug 363137.

So it is.
