I'm not sure how you're planning to handle dropping packages, but perhaps they could be flagged in some way, either server side or in the ebuild itself, and a tool could be provided within the portage tools group to do a check and see if any of the packages currently in use on a machine are scheduled to be dropped? Preferably something we could run in a cron job...i.e. not a graphical client. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
