I already started to implement small proposals for portage. For some |
| 20 |
issues some minor structural/architectural have to be made. |

We have to write something here (probably not in PMS but in the |
| 38 |
devmanual) to make clear what is allowed in pkg_pretend and what not. |

Current behaviour is to copy the file the symlink points to, right? |
| 50 |
Is that behaviour unsafe and should be deprecated completely or do we |
| 51 |
add a flag turning on the new/the old behaviour? |

you probably mean: uninstalled |

Proper documentation for IUSE_IMPLICIT/USE_EXPAND_IMPLICIT is needed. In |
| 63 |
the PMS draft there's only a reference to section 11.1.1, but in that |
| 64 |
section is nothing about it. |

Including "-r" or implicit recursive? |

Same thing as for 1) |

... and we've got most (if not all) proposals with reasons documented |
