Subject: [gentoo-dev] Masking and removing dev-perl/rpm

1 Nothing in the tree depends on it, and thanks to some work in
2 app-arch/rpm, it can't be built anymore since the version of
3 app-arch/rpm it depended on is no longer in the tree (that version of
4 app-arch/rpm had its own problems). Functionality should be duplicated
5 if you install app-arch/rpm with the perl USE flag (unconfirmed, though
6 this package can't be built anymore to compare ;). Tossing it in
7 package.mask, though given it can't be built at all anymore, unless
8 there's counter-pressure I'm in favor of removing it sooner rather than
9 later.
