Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2014-04-18 15:45:41 UTC 
Suppose I want to edit version.h to hide my really ssh version, I can't use epatch_user because it is before the modification of version.h
Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2014-04-20 03:15:02 UTC 
you can't sanely patch out the version value anyways as it'll change between versions and USE settings

if you want to hide the value, patch the place where the version string is used.  that'll be much more portable across versions/etc...
