Ah... I see, I was trying to figure out what they meant by deprecated |
| 25 |
and how they determined it. It seems that the only thing common to |
| 26 |
those packages is that their ebuilds are no-longer in the tree. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So I guess I'm not going to worry too much about it: if they haven't |
| 29 |
gotten updated regularly that probably means they are either bdeps or |
| 30 |
that they will be depcleaned the next time I do it. |
