18 A precision, packages we only a slot 0 needs not to be slot depended on.
19 We will slot move anything that needs to be and open tracker bugs once
20 the first pass that this mail is about will be done.
21
22 FTR, here is a exhaustive list of currently slotted packages in
23 gentoo-x86 maintained by the gnome herds. If any of your packages uses
24 one of these, please adjust your dependencies.
25
26 Beware that some old slots have requests for removal that we are
27 currently working on, so if your package depends on one such old slot,
28 feel free to jump in the relevant bug reports.
29
30 Package slots on their way out:
31 * gnome-extra/libgnomedb < 4 (currently means all slots)
32 * gnome-extra/libgda:1 (for now, 3 might follow soonish, we have :4)
33 * dev-cpp/libgdamm:0 (we have :4)
34 * x11-libs/gtksourceviewmm:1.0 (we have :2)
35
36 I'll send a merged mail to dev-announce in a moment.
