So, i wrote a script to try to get a list of those orphaned entries, and it looks like there are more than 400 packages/ebuilds which are still listed in p.m but that don't exist in the tree anymore. (A bunch of them from the KDE herd btw) *Please* take a look at http://dev.gentoo.org/~araujo/old_package.mask , for the list of these non-existent ebuilds/packages, in case you have forgotten something in there. I'd like if every person takes care of their own entries if possible. If not, i *personally* could go slowly removing the entries, along with other people willing to help, or any other _better_ suggestion to deal with this? I *of course* haven't checked all of the entry generated by the script manually , so there might probably exist packages which are indeed correct, so please re-check before doing something. I also noticed (slight detail) that there are a couple of recent entries at the bottom of this file, isn't the policy to have new entries added at the top? , is there any special reason for this? Ok, that's all for now! -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
