1 Hi Per.

3 Please take a look at dev-lang/smarteiffel ;) and #8897.
4 The first issue is taken care of by using already renamed source. Please take
5 a look at the ebuild to see how was second one resolved as well as some more
6 stuff...
7 Test reports are appreciated ;) (please report either success or failure to
8 that bug).

10 As for the negative version count, well it is now at 1.0 after being renamed
11 and we can only hope that package developers will follow sane versioning. If
12 not, we'll have to contact them and try to persuade to come to their senses
13 :), or invent more elaborative name mangling scheme..
