26 Yeah, we also need to update the ebuild. 2.2.7 was still using the now
27 deprecated EAPI 2 which was getting the attention from the stabilizing
28 devs. I think it is time to update the ebuild eapi. We can always keep
29 2.2.7 around for an upgrade path from older eapi's.

31 Mike, what about Sebastian's last patch about the /var/run and compny.
32 The email I fail to find at the moment. I know there was some
33 additional comments on the bug about /var/lib and one other directory
34 being excluded.
