[gentoo-dev] virtual/x11 cleanups

[Steev Klimaszewski]

Hey all,

Donnie wants to remove virtual/x11 (can ya blame him?) and since Josh_B 
has retired (for now! ;) ) I wanted to help Donnie out a bit, since he 
is busy and X is a massive undertaking... a "quick" grep of the tree 
excluding ChangeLog files shows 3319 occurrences of virtual/x11 still in 
the tree.  I don't have a list as that is a lot of occurrences, so if 
you maintain something that uses X, please take a glance through your 
ebuilds and make sure they have the true package deps and perhaps help 
lighten Donnie's load.

Thanks

Good idea. How about using bug #168328 as a tracker or opening a new one ?

In any case I'll handle sci-electronics and dev-embedded as usual.

I decided to just start committing tonight, and some #gentoo-commits
spectators apparently noticed and wanted to join in the fun. Between
me, calchan, omp, graaff, drac, dirtyepic, and pva, we finished
all of the changes! Sorry if I left anyone out, I just looked on CIA
(which we completely took control of, btw).

Thanks,
Donnie
