Yes, you're right. Maybe it would also speed up the transition period if there was a mechanism to really force people to upgrade their portage version when needed. I imagine a "minversion" file in the tree, with a version number and an explanation message, and portage would refuse to update anything else than himself if its current version is below the current required version (and then display the explanation message instead). Who know, its an easy to add feature, and it may be useful in other situations. -- TGL. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
