cool, fixed in r6183.

Please note that we will include it to the Pentoo ISO image by default only 
after I figure out how integrate it with radare2 smoothly.

Cheers.

regarding radare2, i guess it already embedded Capstone inside (static
compile), so it does not depend on this package.

i might be wrong, so you should confirm with radare2 author.

Yes, it used to be embedded until I complained. They even used git (live) repo, 
meaning it would use unreleased development code. This is completely 
unacceptable for us.
Luckily, it is optional now via "syscapstone" flag. 

However, the latest radare2 release was 9 days ago while capstone realeased a 
day or so. Which makes me puzzled, will it require/work with capstone 3?.. SICK!

not much changes in Capstone since when radare2 was released, so i think it
should work.
but you better confirm with the author.

thanks.

just to clarify the embedded story. We really really REALLY hate embedded 
software. It takes extra space, it is out of control, often left forgotten and 
badly outdated (security risk), it is simply not the right way to go. So we 
unbundle it and force to use system packages. Welcome to Pentoo, the clean 
install ;-)

forgot also to add that we spend some time to install system packages properly 
and trust it after that. That's why we have a separate ebuild for capstone, for 
example. It is tested and trusted package now. I'm not willing to re-do all 
work and pollute my system with an another copy of capstone which might or 
might not work -\
