Hi,

the installation of a package (unofficial gimp-gap) is 'aborted due to
poor programming practices' probably since there have been lots of
dereferencing type-punned pointers and similar warnings.

How can I forced portage to install it anyway?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

Possibly FEATURES="-strict" emerge --opts blah

Unfortunately this didn't help.

The other possibility for ebuilds that have ropey programming practices
is:

export VERY_BRAVE_OR_VERY_DUMB='yes'
emerge <some pile of crap>

This environment variable is self-documenting.
