Can you summarise the reasoning again please? > - at sync time first check the tree format of the remote tree, if we > can't handle it the sync is aborted While I haven't checked over the code at all, the point above above sounds problematic. What happens if the a user installs the latest with this patch and then doesn't sync for three years? The tree may then require a later portage but the user can't sync to be able to emerge a later portage. -- Jason Stubbs -- [email protected] mailing list
