Oops, hit send too quickly. |

I see this in README.subset: |

This distribution contains a subset of the e2fsprogs package; it |
| 20 |
contains the base libraries (ss, et, uuid, blkid) which may be used by |
| 21 |
other non-ext2-related applications. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This may be useful for non-Linux operating systems that need these |
| 24 |
libraries for GNOME, but who do not need the ext2/ext3 filesystem |
| 25 |
utilities. |

From what I can tell, e2fsprogs and e2fsprogs-libs have mostly the |
| 29 |
same KEYWORDS with a couple of exceptions: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
x86-fbsd |
| 32 |
x86-freebsd |
| 33 |
x86-solaris |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
It hardly seems worth the effort to maintain 2 ebuilds for these small |
| 36 |
platforms. |
