Most of the porting work has been done, however it still needs much testing before it can be considered stable. -r16 is masked because half of the ebuild was rewritten for python-2.3 and in some cases these changes can break portage. However, only -r14 and -r16 currently work with python-2.3. Marius -- Public Key at http://www.genone.de/info/gpg-key.pub In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be Light.'
