Thus, I don't think any e-mails are necessary. Developers: do an emerge --pretend, and check the list of broken infos. If one of yours is listed, then fix it. I will do a cvs update before I fix a package to make sure I don't duplicate work (or just to be safe, you can e-mail me if you are going to fix your own). Chad >
