11 Ok, that's more precise. I thought this would be a problem with repoman as I
12 was calling 'repoman scan'.

21 I don't do automatic dependency resolving, too. All I automate is keywording
22 exactly one ebuild. If I have an ebuild that needs another four dependencies
23 stable I call five times mp.sh with the according ebuilds.

29 As you can see I am neither a good programmer (didn't even know about
30 std::isdigit until jkt told me..) nor do I write good scripts. Although I am
31 willing to educate on both issues. Maybe we can really start such a project.
32 Anyone else interested? Stable marking monkeys from sparc, x86 and amd64
33 might be interested in this.
