Requesting clarification of a point, here: I understand the ban on non-EAPI-0 features in in-tree profiles, since users could be using old PMs, but it's fine using them in /etc/portage/*, provided one has upgraded to an appropriately compatible PM, correct? I ask because based on the kde overlay documentation, I have a lot of entries like this in /etc/portage/package.keywords: # kde4 overlay kde-base kde-base/kdelibs:kde-svn ** -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
