[gentoo-dev] masked portage 1.8.8-r1

[Geert Bevin]

Hello all,

I've committed a masked portage 1.8.8-r1. Since I've changed a few
internal features it would be nice if some people tested it and bashed
it to death before I unmask it :-)

Thanks for the help !

Here is the relevant excerpt from the changelog :
*portage 1.8.8-r1 (1 Feb 2002)

  1 Feb 2002; G.Bevin <gbevin@g.o> portage.py, ebuild.sh :
  added support for a pkg_setup() function which is executed before 
  anything else and can be typically used for package configuration 
  actions or required system checks

  1 Feb 2002; G.Bevin <gbevin@g.o> portage.py :
  implemented the noauto MAINTAINER flags for all relevant ebuild 
  commands

  1 Feb 2002; G.Bevin <gbevin@g.o> portage.py :
