Do we get a problem if we change spython to resist in /usr and then merge over |
| 43 |
libs |
| 44 |
from dev-lang/python? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
If not we can drop sys-devel/python and if someone needs python he can use |
| 47 |
dev-lang/python |
| 48 |
with or without tcl-tk/X support (use tcl-tk). |
