[gentoo-user] Has eclean changed recently?

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

For several years I've been running "eclean-pkg -d" and "eclean-dist -d" in a 
weekly tidying routine, but recently it removed every single package, leaving 
just the directory structure. And I'd just spent six hours building the 
packages with emerge -eB too - I wasn't amused.

Can anyone confirm this?

No, I don't use eclean, but you can recreate your packages with quickpkg:

quickpkg $(qlist -ICv | sed 's/^/=/')

The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

Works as expected here.  I'm using this version of the package:

gentoolkit-0.3.2-r1

I tested both dist and pkg and it worked fine.

Hmm. It's looking as though it works right for me sometimes, but not always. 
Time for some head scratching...
