第一次被人泼冷水

翻译了有不少时间了，第一次
具体说了什么，就不透露了
他其实也是有些不了解情况

不过事件本身说明一个问题
那就是很多中国的技术领域的英文"高手"从不看翻译的东西
之前包括我自己也是这样
原因在于：觉得翻译的东西靠不住

我参与翻译gentoo文档，目的之一就是想改变人们的这一印象，创出牌子来
让人们知道gentoo的中文文档是有质量保证的
不光准确翻译出意思，而且力求通顺流畅，"像"中文文章

当然和很多开源项目一样，最终要达到目的需要很多人的参与，包括译者的初始成果、读者的反馈和维护者迅速的反应。
最重要的还是初始成果，虽然难免错误，但一定要给读者以信心。这正是我们正在做的。

我支持老兄，你属于实实在在做事的那种人，做起事来也是有板有眼，让人钦佩。

至于其它人的言语，择其善者从之。还是但丁那句：“走自己的路，让别人去说吧！”。

加油！

gentoo中文文档翻译的确实不错，只可惜国人的垃圾书屡出不绝，wikipedia还不能访问，这年头好东西不多了。
替广大gentoo爱好者感谢版主!

portage-2.2 preserve-libs FEATURES explained

Maybe I am not the right person to write about it. But I felt the necessity to write about it. So I will just write something about preserve-libs, leaving other FEATURES to more competent people. Portage-2.2 has already entered unstable tree. Many people has started using it. It has many new features, like preserve-libs, sets, license filter and so on. Please check README and RELEASE-NOTES for a complete list. I will only talk about preserve-libs. To understand why we need it, we have to know some background information. First of all, applications are not built from scratch. Any non trivial apps use lot of libraries. In GNU/Linux, most of them are shared libraries, i.e. .so files. You can use `ldd /usr/bin/mplayer` to check what shared libraries an app has been linked to, replace mplayer to whatever program you'd like to check. Shared libraries have versions. E.g. /usr/lib/libavformat.so.51, here 51 denotes its version. After upgrading, the version number may change. E.g. /usr/lib/...
