Re: [gentoo-dev] Old eclasses - candidates for removal?

[Theo Chatzimichos <tampakrap@gentoo.org>]

for kde:
kde-i18n.eclass
kde-source.eclass
and i am not sure but i think kde-base.eclass too
kde-dist.eclass is used only by monolithic kde3 ebuilds that i plan to drop 
after 3.5.10 stabilization so it will be deprecated too

Aren't there any tools that make such checks?
