Yeah, that’s my baby sister, she turns 25 today.
So, bunch of things. The whole co-habiting of kerberi is abandoned. There was a stunning lack of feedback as to motivation and method, so they’ll remain blocking. However, they will be cleaned up. I will make sure to at least make them both non-clobbering against e2fsutils & co.
Also, if you’re going to use crazy-assed compiler flags, the very least you can bother doing is reading the documentation about them. Honestly, people, gcc provides great man pages and info pages, and the website is chock-full of information about each flag. Don’t just listen to some l337 dud3 in some hokey irc channel on some hokey network — chances are that’s not freenode/#gentoo, but who knows.
And while you’re changing your cflags to put some cool looking flags in there, for the sake of all that is holy, please don’t screw with other settings that you know absolutely nothing about!!
It’s cases like these that are the cause of ridicule to Gentoo itself, to be honest. When you read /. posts or comments to linux news stories, or go on over to funroll-loops, it’s you they’re talking about. But then they generalise to the rest of us. And if you file a bug about your broken cflags set up breaking gentoo packages — if I happen to wrangle it, expect to see:
gcc -fuck-off-with-your-flags thisbug > closed
as your comment.
Hahaha that post and the bugs were hilarious!
seemant, I was following your kerberi stuff. 🙂 But with how much internet connectivity I have lately, I’ve been pretty mum about it. I’m defintely interested in something good happening on that front.
Thank you for the good comment on gcc flags. All too often I see this crap too and just want to start punching people in the face. Maybe taking a Windows XP Retail box and hitting them with it too. Just for the hell of it.
