Unfortunately, in those days, bypassing Portage was considered easier than extending it. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/Wb3ic.qT1Eadzr7cJhealmY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkuXuIAACgkQ96zL6DUtXhELRQCgn1NtYEeZtZbDMgHzsNm09+U8 cnQAn2JqwZvuoGEuC/8wJY8SQXehWnvj =MXFY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/Wb3ic.qT1Eadzr7cJhealmY--
