I'm thinking that this may be a good time to audit the portage tree and |
| 2 |
clean up any cruft. |

Specifically: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
1. Clean out directories with multiple, older versions of ebuilds. |
| 7 |
2. Consolidate portages which are replicated in multiple directories. |
| 8 |
3. Consolidate current-packages and current-packages.new into one file. |

Why now? Well, since it looks like most of Gentoo is falling into place |
| 11 |
and is growning everyday, now seems like a good time (in my opinion). |
| 12 |
Also, it appears as though with the new portage expansions (xpak) being |
| 13 |
the building blocks for 1.0_rc5, that this going into this with a |
| 14 |
spotless tree may make the work a lot easier. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Anyway, I'd like to know what you all think. If it does appear like a |
| 17 |
good idea, then maybe we should get all the committers together, divide |
| 18 |
up the tree and go to town... |
