[gentoo-dev] Proposed CVS Cleanup

[Jerry A! <jerry@thehutt.org>]

I'm thinking that this may be a good time to audit the portage tree and
clean up any cruft.

Specifically:

1. Clean out directories with multiple, older versions of ebuilds.
2. Consolidate portages which are replicated in multiple directories.
3. Consolidate current-packages and current-packages.new into one file.

Why now?  Well, since it looks like most of Gentoo is falling into place
and is growning everyday, now seems like a good time (in my opinion).
Also, it appears as though with the new portage expansions (xpak) being
the building blocks for 1.0_rc5, that this going into this with a
spotless tree may make the work a lot easier.

Anyway, I'd like to know what you all think.  If it does appear like a
good idea, then maybe we should get all the committers together, divide
up the tree and go to town...
