[gentoo-portage-dev] Releasing portage-2.2.8

[Sebastian Luther]

Hi all,

I'd like to release a new portage version. You may find the list of
fixed bugs on the tracker [1] (those not marked as fixed).

Most notable are the slot operator related fixes and the fix for binary
packages with respect to use dependencies on USE_EXPAND values.

I don't think there's anything that should go into the NEWS file.

Any objections?


What is then needed is someone to create the tarball using mkrelease.sh
and upload it somewhere.

The ebuild needs an updated SRC_URI.

Any Volunteers?
