Sorry but portage is too strictly related to the ebuilds in tree, recent |
| 24 |
removal of EAPI=5 from most eclasses underlined that. |
| 25 |
Or to put id differently if you want a LTS portage you also need a certain |
| 26 |
number of "protected" eclasses and ebuilds |
| 27 |
It seems a lot of (very appreciated but don't count on me) work |
