Ok, that's more precise. I thought this would be a problem with repoman as I 
was calling 'repoman scan'.

I don't do automatic dependency resolving, too. All I automate is keywording 
exactly one ebuild. If I have an ebuild that needs another four dependencies 
stable I call five times mp.sh with the according ebuilds.

As you can see I am neither a good programmer (didn't even know about 
std::isdigit until jkt told me..) nor do I write good scripts. Although I am 
willing to educate on both issues. Maybe we can really start such a project. 
Anyone else interested? Stable marking monkeys from sparc, x86 and amd64 
might be interested in this.
