In other words, it's a pretty tame 'justification', especially when there're far better ones. It's like saying that vim is better than nano because the name is one character less to type in. | > AFAIK, virtual can't be removed from categories either... | | Can fix this for portage-2.0.51.20. We're gonna need another one of those "all users *must* upgrade portage to at least 2.0.51.20" notices? As soon as this gets implemented, anyone who syncs with an old version of portage is screwed (hence my original dep comment before I realised how nasty the error actually was). -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
