which, obviously, is not true :-) |

BTW, the old revdep-rebuild.sh finally wants to rebuild hundreds |

of packages... which I interrupted - makes no sense at all for me. |

Ok, I could set up a complete "old" system, of course, but I'm |
| 18 |
using the old libraries on a "production system" (they are |
| 19 |
called by a PHP extension which is used by a public accessible |
| 20 |
Apache web server). So I'm really interested in keeping the |
| 21 |
rest of the system up-to-date. |

| 23 |
The old Kylix libraries just do some comprehensive calculations. |
| 24 |
Not too difficult to manually translate that into PHP (or any |
| 25 |
other script language, or even plain C), but just hundreds of |
| 26 |
code lines to type... |

Not yet - AFAIK the gentoo-dev list is read-only for non-developpers, |
| 33 |
and I've never used IRC in my life at all :-) But I'll give it a try |
| 34 |
if I have no further ideas... |
