1 Anyone else here who is a udept user? I really like the dep tool but
2 the last few upgrades have announced the it has been masked in
3 preparation for being dropped. The reason given is `Dead upstream'.

5 Anyone know why that is. Is the code in terrible shape or is it being
6 eclipsed by something else.

8 I like having a big variety of portage tools

10 Looking at the Change log... which is riddled with really useless
11 cutsey comments, I wonder if it just too damned cute to put up with
12 .. hehe. Apparently the last change was Aug 25 2006 so over 2.5
13 years. The tool seems to work good though.

16 Honestly though can anyone throw some light on the udept situation?
