'eix-test-obsolete', mentioned earlier is a great tool, part of eix, |
| 16 |
to use to list all sorts of items that need scrutiny. |

Granted you should not just blindly follow the advice of the items |
| 19 |
any given tool identifies as perfect. But these sort |
| 20 |
of tools are great to generate a list of things to look |
| 21 |
at with scrutiny. |

Currently, I run 'eix-remote' update to update the overlays, |
| 24 |
so does 'emaint all' properly update the overlay contents like |
| 25 |
'eix-remote update'; I have never dug into these news updating |
| 26 |
caveats since we migrated to git....? |
