'eix-test-obsolete', mentioned earlier is a great tool, part of eix, to use to list all sorts of items that need scrutiny. Granted you should not just blindly follow the advice of the items any given tool identifies as perfect. But these sort of tools are great to generate a list of things to look at with scrutiny. Currently, I run 'eix-remote' update to update the overlays, so does 'emaint all' properly update the overlay contents like 'eix-remote update'; I have never dug into these news updating caveats since we migrated to git....? hth, James
