13 Apparently not, it's not that the change is complicated but I (and the
14 rest of the gnome herd) would rather have an upfront information about
15 any kind of changes to our ebuilds than discovering these through
16 gentoo-commits...

24 I'd also like to know why this cannot be handled by the usual D with
25 package manager support, this would save a lot of changes to ebuilds
26 (like the python abi stuff that still has no documentation afaik).
27
28 I sincerely want to see progress in the way we handle prefix, python
29 abis and all the cool stuff that is still in preparation, but let's do
30 it in a way to makes every dev aware of it (sending a mail to
31 gentoo-dev-announce for example), thanks.
