And `emaint --check world` does not seem to report comments from package.mask, so my solution is not that good neither to inform users about what's happening in such a case. There is still the solution of the dummy ebuild with some relevant einfo to replace the actual deprecated package (i think i've seen that in the past, winex-cvs for instance IIRC), but that's ugly :/ -- TGL. -- [email protected] mailing list
