The devs are deprecating the flat-file version of package.*, I have been |
| 22 |
gettings warnings during emerges indicating that they all need to be |
| 23 |
changed to the directory layout. |

If you ignore this eventually emerge will stop working. I've already |
| 26 |
taken the few minutes to move all my boxes to the directory layout, and |
| 27 |
split out the packages to individual files. You don't have to go that |
| 28 |
far though, the entries can stay in one file under the new directory |
| 29 |
structure. |
