Hi,

Repoman needs to check for deprecated eclasses, see
http://bugs.gentoo.org/141677

As a result of the discussion in the bug, we would like to add
$PORTDIR/qa-data/eclass.deprecated
to allow to deprecate eclasses properly and make repoman fail.

This will allow us to avoid problems with new ebuilds for deprecated
eclasses which result in bugs like
Bug 141629 dev-util/systemtap-20060325.ebuild uses deprecated
kernel-mod.eclass
I believe the developer has not known anything about that kernel-mod is
deprecated when making that ebuild. Now he ignores the bug and we have that
old eclass used again :(

Best regards,
- Stefan
