Hello, I provide these scripts to put your /var/db/pkg tree back to a compatible state after all the slots adventures. First run convertslot.sh and then convertslots2.py, afterwards your installed package tree should be compatible with 1.8.8 again and with what slots are supposed to become in the next revisions. Happy gentooing ! Geert -- Geert Bevin Uwyn "Use what you need" Lambermontlaan 148 http://www.uwyn.com 1030 Brussels gbevin@uwyn.com Tel & Fax +32 2 245 41 06
