Hi, |

I like the idea. This will allow the following change in workflow: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
When you now want to last-rite app-misc/foo for example, you would |
| 6 |
schedule a CI run. I.e. create a pull request against Gentoo repository |
| 7 |
at GitHub containing your package.mask entry. When the results will be |
| 8 |
available, you will start filling bugs against packages depending on the |
| 9 |
package you want to get rid off. Once all depending packages are gone, |
| 10 |
you will commit the mask. However, this process can take some time and |
| 11 |
in theory someone could add a new dependency on your package in the |
| 12 |
meanwhile... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Thanks to the new package.deprecated file we would have a check in real |
| 15 |
time against current repository. And once all CI warnings are gone you |
| 16 |
can commit the mask. |
