So we tell the user what flags are enabled or disabled according to their choice of USE flags. I hate to sound like one of those snotty devs, but bugzilla should be used for bugs and not support. Use the forums for that. You're not really asking us to do anything, like remove the elog, just for information about an ewarning. The reason is that people search bugzilla to find things that should be fixed/changed (ie bugs) and the search the forum for help and support. Feel free to reopen the bug if you do want us to changes something (eg remove the ewarning.) |
Th xapian ebuild issues an ewarn depending on state of use flags "sse" and "sse3" that basically say "Using sse{,2}" or "Disabling sse and sse2". I installed this package as dependency to current kde 4.13 and am wondering what this message should tell me as an end user, I can see that this information might be relevant for developers, but then why issue an ewarn instead of an elog? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge dev-libs/xapian with sse{,2} enabled or disabled
