Greetings:
Is there a [documented?] procedure for removing packages from the
portage tree? I am talking about removing an entire directory, not
just a versioned ebuild.
For instance, if sys-apps/mkisofs were to be replaced by
app-cdr/cdrtools, what would I need to do, other than make sure that
no other package depends on mkisofs and delete the files from CVS?
Thanks,

Mask it in package.mask, and then remove it.

Just wondering, but shouldn't there be a way to make it so anything that tried
to emerge mkisofs would instead emerge cdrtools? For example, if it was in a
user's world file.

Yes. There is a solution: Put it in profiles/updates/2Q-2003.

Should be fine, as I tend to remember that we fazed mkisofs out months
ago.
