sorry for the mass cross posting but i know theres a bunch of people who are 
probably interested in this change ...

libnet is now SLOT-ed such that 1.0.x is deprecated and 1.1.x is the default 
libnet package.  libnids had to be SLOT-ed along with it since 1.16 works 
with 1.0.x and 1.17 works with 1.1.x.

i guess a lot of the packages in the previous list i sent out i was actually 
the maintainer :D ... but once again, for completeness, here are the packages 
that have been patched to match this SLOT:


net-analyzer/angst
net-analyzer/arping
net-analyzer/dsniff
net-analyzer/egressor
net-analyzer/hogwash (this has been left alone for solar)
net-analyzer/isic
net-analyzer/snort
net-analyzer/tcptraceroute
net-analyzer/zodiac
net-dns/dnshijacker
net-libs/libnids
net-libs/libnet
net-misc/nemesis
net-misc/rarpd
sys-cluster/heartbeat (this has not been updated since it works with both 
1.0.x and 1.1.x ... good for them :D)
