Description bay 2010-07-08 04:11:36 UTC

When I try to install systemd on my gentoo machine.

"emerge systemd" output:
* QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile
*            but will almost certainly crash on 64bit architectures.
* 
* Function `manager_dbus_proxy_new' implicitly converted to pointer at systemadm.vala:302
* Function `unit_dbus_proxy_new' implicitly converted to pointer at systemadm.vala:328
* Function `job_dbus_proxy_new' implicitly converted to pointer at systemadm.vala:355


* ERROR: sys-apps/systemd-9999 failed:
*   install aborted due to poor programming practices shown above

Well, that message is kinda insulting. And this is a problem in the Vala Code Generator, which has been fixed a while back there. Please update your Vala, thanks.
