20 There was a reason it was released as _rc1, And it was fixed real
21 quick with _rc1-r1, it was a small easy fix. Incidentally , the error
22 was in the portage code, not the new repoman code which your reply
23 above seems to indicate. For those of you that might have installed
24 _rc1, the easy fix is install repoman, then upgrade to _rc1-r1, then
25 unmerge repoman if you don't want it.

27 For those that may not know, _rc stands for release candidate, when
28 major changes are done. Code is often released as a release candidate to
29 shake out any missed change that might be needed but missed due to
30 configuration and other conditions on the developers systems.

32 Thank you to those that tested it quite thoroughly after I released it.
33 Including finding the fix right away :D
