Normally old versions are not kept around as already said if you read |
29 |
the thread. Live ebuilds shouldn't really have been in the original list |
30 |
with my intended logic. For them I will usually just migrate them to |
31 |
EAPI 2 like with other packages we have been touching. Using a tracker |
32 |
bug makes sense if you expect some action from individual maintainers |
33 |
which is not the case here as they can just leave the job to people |
34 |
nuking built_with_use like me. |
