euse from gentoolkit still uses it since it is written in bash and XML |
| 10 |
parsing in bash can be problematic. We really need to get euse |
| 11 |
rewritten in python so it can use the portage and gentoolkit API's |
| 12 |
before we get rid of the file. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Additionally, if we move the file, euse will need to be updated as well |
| 15 |
and get pushed out to a stable version of gentoolikit. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The euse rewrite is on the roadmap for gentoolkit-0.3.1 which doesn't |
| 18 |
have a release date yet since the primary contributors have been busy |
| 19 |
with other things. |

PS: The gentoolkit overlay |
| 25 |
(http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/gentoolkit.git;a=summary) |
| 26 |
is open to all Gentoo developers. The only requirement for committing |
| 27 |
to the gentoolkit branch is to pick up any pieces if you break |
| 28 |
something. Note: the gentoolkit-dev branch has tighter restrictions and |
| 29 |
access to it is controlled by idl0r. |
