rt? What did Patrice's commit break?
If the issues are so serious that we have to prevent any breakage/regressions
from reaching users, I guess an alternative response would have been to
p.mask the offending new ebuild. Unless the commit caused some tree-wide
breakage which I can't see h
to contain not
just (qualified) package names, but some sort of package dependency
specifications (PMS 8.2.6).
