After discussion in #gentoo-pms, I'm going to push this |
| 45 |
with only the +s (i.e. keep gzip + bzip2 in @system for now), |
| 46 |
as PMS at least for gzip is clear it wants GNU gzip available, |
| 47 |
and it says "bzip2" must be as well. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I'd like to revisit this another time and see about changing that |
| 50 |
if appropriate, but that's tangential to the reason I'm trying to do |
| 51 |
this quickly (minimising impact for users). |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
I'll open a bug so we don't forget to do that revisiting. |
