Because gentoolkit-dev is a different package with a different purpose, |
| 16 |
not a development/pre-release version of gentoolkit. gentoolkit-dev is |
| 17 |
a separate collection of gentoolkit-like scripts, but targeted at devs, |
| 18 |
where the original gentoolkit scripts are targeted at normal users. |

Putting the entirely separate package in an entirely separate repo does |
| 21 |
make sense, altho some devs do apparently prefer to keep multiple |
| 22 |
packages in the same repo (see udev with systemd, to mention one rather |
| 23 |
controversial example). |
