If anyone would like to help me converting random packages/categories, |
20 |
it would be GREATLY appreciated. This is difficult work and it has |
21 |
literally taken up almost all of my free time for the past 2 days or |
22 |
so, but I have well over half the tree converted. |
23 |
|
24 |
just dev-util/pkgconfig -> virtual/pkgconfig and if the |
25 |
dev-util/pkgconfig is versioned, i've been dropping the version since |
26 |
0.26 is the only fd.o version in the tree and the alternatives are all |
27 |
0.26 compatible. |

Here's the list i've been working off of: |

http://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/dindex/dev-util/pkgconfig |
31 |
(It's not the most up-to-date, but it works well enough.) |

I am willing to finish this myself, but as I said, help would be |
34 |
greatly appreciated. |
