I'm not in favor of it, I see an increase in maintenance complexity in particular with regards to stabilization and version cleanup without any obvious benefit. If the argument is the duplicate ebuild info after a copy is too much, there are likely too many versions for that package around. - -- Kristian Fiskerstrand Public PGP key 0xE3EDFAE3 at hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net fpr:94CB AFDD 3034 5109 5618 35AA 0B7F 8B60 E3ED FAE3 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJV9CjnAAoJECULev7WN52FbNsH/jeN9wN257cu9rk/tDMEKrXB JLizxjTQSSXQAPGR262bQ8T8vL40vW4rxYDUdEfO+l/tA88iqA7gIUN5RIULclBG 7bJt2OBD6nX+ySwavklU+kT/sCTX9xhKz6FyPMNREhR97utTPuhAefgyuDhFS1+T M+RkMmtrEya34FK0K4jg2s9S67FE1HEhe60AHCYILKpDqBR6/ESkd3jCgSDOwl51 rdQ5QqlX0eblmXossWbA34SbWA2u8yr7cMAYP6Y/wUCLI0MkDoNDbC7d4lOpJ6pe PLxLC4vPOmIJC1vRri1R5aiKeHywE80/KcfraMBAhHzgPgJ8QjHlpuIgbblBets= =5jWI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
