Description Bel Zébute 2005-07-04 03:29:20 UTC
Title speaks for itself, but since I have the space, I will complain that
Portage should print the dependency trace of why it is wining instead of bluntly
stating "no ebuild for this" because, you know, the world and system arguments
exist in portage.

I'll also complain that qmail-ldap would need someone to maintain it, or Gentoo
should automatize this process when they decide to rename categories.  They
should also rework the data structure so that category renaming goes smoothly,
instead of hacking their way to it (read "fixpackage sux end never fix anything")

I'm done ranting.  Hope I'm done debugging, 'cause sometime I wish i'd just work.

Reproducible: Always

Ahem, wrong call.  I had qmail-ldap in my overlay.  

So I'll restate my rant that Gentoo should also "fixpackage" the overlays.

Sorry, I'm a bit on edge because lots of things are just crumbling apart.
