4 Hi All,
5
6 Apparently its been too long since I've sent one of these out, as people
7 are starting to slip up and break the tree again.
8
9 Please triple check what you want to commit and verify that you don't do
10 any of the following (which are punishable by death):
11
12 1) remove the last ebuild that is keyworded for a given arch, especially
13 when resulting in broken dependencies.
14
15 2) remove the last stable ebuild for an architecture
16
17 3) remove the last testing ebuild for an architecture when there is no
18 stable ebuild available after the removal
19
20 Consider yourself warned. Violation of any of these will cause the
21 jforman death goat squad to be dispatched to your location for a discreet
22 hit. For repeat offenders, public executions will be had, with Spanky
23 hosting.

25 Thanks :)
