Sorry, but I didn't have an internet connection for January to notice but when I upgraded to 2.1.2-r7 pkgsplit, catpkgsplit, catsplit no longer accepted ebuild strings with any atoms. Porthole was crashing in several places.
I have changed portholes coding to work around it, but there are several more bugs for me to fix before considering it for a new release (a few unfinished features too). My main question is what approximate time frame is if any being considered for stabilizing the 2.1.2 version. I will need to make sure I have a release ready for porthole users. Also, I had copied a little code from gentoolkit which also puked at the change in strictness. I don't know if that has been changed already. It was in split_package_name(). It was called from find_best_match() called from get_system_pkgs(). Brian -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
