You've got the Gentoo creat0r running off to lick salt with the M$ weiners up in WA right when Gentoo was peaking in popularity. In less than a year he realizes his mistake and comes back crying wanting to control stuff again as if he had never left. Then just recently the Gentoo leadership forgot to renew the non-profit tax status paperwork!?!? With all that spare time waiting for things to compile I figured they wouldn't have forgotten about such an important task. Do they not having meetings or whatever? And where's my 2007.1 release? At the start we were getting a new Gentoo release four times a year. Then it went to two, then last year was just one. Contrary to what you may think, `emerge -uND` is not an upgrade path, at least not for a serious server deployment. The bottom line is emerge breaks things, and the older the Gentoo install, the more likely the breakage will occur. Why do I even have to deal with etc-update? Who has time for all that silliness? Obviously you and not me, but that's life. Sooner or later you too will get tired of cleaning up behind emerge. Took me like two years I guess. I like my Linux stable, and Gentoo is not stable, especially not right now. > and there is no prob w/ php -a. although i wont lie; it seems to > be jacked on all the debian systems ive tried :( I compiled my PHP from source so the jacking may be of my own doing, I don't know.

When you install a gem the docs are created by rdoc for you on the fly using the gem's Ruby code itself. As a result you can't not get current api docs when you install a gem. -- Greg Donald http://destiney.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
