More tools that require an update: |
21 |
- euse and genpkgindex from gentoolkit |
22 |
- ufed |
23 |
- likely a bunch of other tools from app-portage (anything that doesn't |
24 |
use portage.config) |
25 |
- probably some other packages outside of app-portage (catalyst?) |
26 |
|
27 |
And I assume there is a non-trivial number of custom scripts out there |
28 |
using make.profile, but that's nothing we can do about. |
