After looking at why emerge clean wouldn't get rid of older hdparm and openssh I found that |
| 2 |
the ebuilds for the old versions didn't have a SLOT so portage assumes nothing != 0 and |
| 3 |
keeps both versions. |
| 4 |
But aren't all ebuilds supposed to have SLOT defined? |
| 5 |
Maybe temporarily until all such cases are fixed emerge could presume missing slot means 0? |

And if this should be a bug-report would it be much harder for the core portage tree maintainters |
| 8 |
to have ebuild fixes and submits dealt with on a separate mailing list instead of bugzilla. |
| 9 |
I personally find the latter horrible and a lot harder to use than simply mailing a patch |
| 10 |
but again that's just my oppinion.Another benefit of a mailing list would be that people |
| 11 |
subscribed would see if/when new ebuilds are worked on.Maybe one can subscribe to bugzilla |
| 12 |
as well but sometimes ebuilds are put in another bug category...I'll just stop now. |
