I'm pretty sure you'll get the finger for at least the following: 64-bit.eclass (no point) alternatives.eclass (no point) bash-completion.eclass (we know what we're doing) check-reqs.eclass (we know what we're doing, and I'm not sure that anyone actually uses this yet) commonbox.eclass (bye bye!) cron.eclass (we know what we're doing) cvs.eclass (no point) debug.eclass (heh. yeah. that one) eutils.eclass (no point, unworkable) fdo-mime.eclass (no point) fixheadtails.eclass (no point) flag-o-matic.eclass (no point) games*.eclass (see comments) gnuconfig.eclass (no point) inherit.eclass (mmm, musty) libtool.eclass (no point) subversion.eclass (no point) toolchain*.eclass (we know what we're doing) versionator.eclass (no point) vim*.eclass (no point, and we know what we're doing) Can't say for the rest... Maybe you'd be better trying to find people who *do* want to use it. Once you have a list, it might be worth considering whether there's a better way to solve whatever problems those people are actually having. Still, thanks for all the effort, even if it was misguided, misdirected and misinformed. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
