How certain are you of this guess? How long is long enough? Mostly? At the moment, it beats mostly on our efforts to it; and in the near future, it'll need to adapt further to newer EAPIs as well as further bugs and other complexities in the Portage trees. Otherwise you'll get a lot of "we can't continue because they stopped developing Portage". Hence that's why it comes up every now and then as a subject, hence someone finally made the call to reinforcement, ...; so, it won't have to continue beating on its own at all. --=20 With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D --Sig_/1aMjAKpGE5hl8sY6mFDF2mn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJS1AhkAAoJEJWyH81tNOV9QIkIAMBPUo7q/dpKX5ybZ33yFYou aGFYiBNqN4gnDuh7sXnx9esNabdix/wLtX69kPo2jpLsuCMaV2SXQiptJm8oTfpU t/bDV4J5FWeiMEx1/dmkV50ZrtRtav47kMvjDjQpBwSxRRfp5PG0JT0KI4xQUJrZ rzK3GEi+o2lpyeUUHYT96RyjB1y7SAopBw69Y2Uor58oSufgUq6EeShUN40GhgX0 YErpAxMzMz/vL2/GqX7zdOBsl5HhjcYoASlwI9YAsnKxesQeQNj20BwNQPtiKIbr 4pkW9E0+f72gouttdvkxSCFzsiW1I3TsdMV+1zS/417hI/wVvBIN8y1egAGEpRM= =2qN0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/1aMjAKpGE5hl8sY6mFDF2mn--
