Yes, the last 2 repoman versions have supported the new format. I plan |

Right now, I'm just hoping to see portage versions >= 2.0.51.20 be more |
| 20 |
prevalent in #gentoo-commits before taking the plunge and changing |
| 21 |
this... or perhaps repoman complaining loudly every time they try to use |
| 22 |
it will give people a bit of motivation to upgrade? ;] |
