X-Mailer: VM 8.0.2-487 under Emacs 22.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) From: Ulrich Mueller <ulm@gentoo.org> X-Archives-Salt: 9d6bc882-b4c9-4d89-9f8a-23b0c67857bf X-Archives-Hash: a4e3fee30f3d2db39a61e7405e5a5a12 In last week's council meeting a policy for removal of old eclasses has been defined: ,---- | The council voted that to remove eclasses devs should take the | following steps: | 1) Deprecate eclasses. | 2) Removal of all functionality relating to installing. | 3) After two years the eclass may be removed. `---- A quick scan shows that the following eclasses were deprecated more than three years ago, and are used by no ebuild in the tree: 2002-05-25 inherit.eclass 2003-12-11 kde-i18n.eclass 2004-04-16 koffice-i18n.eclass 2005-09-18 jakarta-commons.eclass 2006-02-28 php.eclass 2006-02-28 php-2.eclass Do we want to remove any of these?
