Hello everyone, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
A few days ago i glanced over package.mask , and i was surprised |
| 4 |
about how many non-existent ebuild/packages entries are there. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
So, i wrote a script to try to get a list of those orphaned entries, |
| 7 |
and it looks like there are more than 400 packages/ebuilds which are still |
| 8 |
listed in p.m but that don't exist in the tree anymore. |
| 9 |
(A bunch of them from the KDE herd btw) |
| 10 |
|

*Please* take a look at http://dev.gentoo.org/~araujo/old_package.mask , |
| 12 |
for the list of these non-existent ebuilds/packages, in case you have |
| 13 |
forgotten something |
| 14 |
in there. I'd like if every person takes care of their own entries if |
| 15 |
possible. |
| 16 |
If not, i *personally* could go slowly removing the entries, along with |
| 17 |
other |
| 18 |
people willing to help, or any other _better_ suggestion to deal with this? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I *of course* haven't checked all of the entry generated by the script |
| 21 |
manually , |
| 22 |
so there might probably exist packages which are indeed correct, so |
| 23 |
please re-check |
| 24 |
before doing something. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I also noticed (slight detail) that there are a couple of recent entries |
| 27 |
at the bottom |
| 28 |
of this file, isn't the policy to have new entries added at the top? , |
| 29 |
is there any special |
| 30 |
reason for this? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Ok, that's all for now! |
