More tools that require an update: - euse and genpkgindex from gentoolkit - ufed - likely a bunch of other tools from app-portage (anything that doesn't use portage.config) - probably some other packages outside of app-portage (catalyst?) And I assume there is a non-trivial number of custom scripts out there using make.profile, but that's nothing we can do about. Marius -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
