I've put the cleansed ebuilds into bug #609436. I tried to test on old |
| 15 |
OS X releases starting with 10.6 but ran into any number of problems |
| 16 |
with upgrade and bootstrap. The most visible is glib:2 requiring 10.9 |
| 17 |
to compile. That alone makes me think noone would really running anything older |
| 18 |
since there would have been compaints otherwise. |
