It's been on my todo list, but I haven't gotten around to it yet due |
| 9 |
to other portage work that's kept me extremely busy. I hope to get |
| 10 |
GLEP 42 implemented soon though. |

On the bright side, portage-2.1.2 [1] has made recent progress on |
| 13 |
quite a few important and long standing bugs. Here are descriptions |
| 14 |
of some of the recent changes: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
* Profiles support multiple inheritance. |
| 17 |
* CONFIG_PROTECT and CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK both support files (not |
| 18 |
just directories). |
| 19 |
* Collision protection handles symlinks properly. |
| 20 |
* Dependencies can be satisfied by installed packages that do not |
| 21 |
have matching ebuilds in the portage tree or overlay. |
| 22 |
* Emerge automatically ignores blockers that are made irrelevant by |
| 23 |
an upgrade. |
| 24 |
* Emerge builds a complete dependency graph in order to ensure |
| 25 |
correct merge order and detection of circular dependencies. |
| 26 |
* The world and system sets allow automatic update of all installed |
| 27 |
slots. |
| 28 |
* DEPEND atoms support SLOT dependencies of the form |
| 29 |
${CATEGORY}/${PN}:${SLOT}. |
