What are the reasons to change the API in the first place? There has to be a good reason, cause this will involve yet another migration of many ebuilds. I don't see any bugreports. I fear this will cause more confusion, i.e. some ebuilds using the old distutils, some using python-distutils-ng and some using distutils-r1 resulting in weird tree behavior. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQZvxsAAoJEFpvPKfnPDWzL1IH/iaChrfPET4KArZzaViXJjlL 4pM2tmgByJNAgtFjwLwz3c6lqdJGAV8Uf4VpPTec+Z7lj0v0SDj04YI63CgFZ2N/ R7edGAoJdGOFDv/oOY+bP38PeWpnuguOvEaKI8EEqaJgLne29wPEQ7+KcWe8M6hM tA41lIIFpK2PN+kIHdItbSl8aRZmm9NorfUCukFfs1odwV+C0B3rP4mJZQW+TnbR DmDqFCFQF/r1k+n17wARqvcCL+hBqs/CvTG7K8Z/mNWD/Dove1vMB1ir8p8KnYSO TULgpcVEK4VuXjHrccLhmO4ODWZiXn/yWKws3z+XmRwIwBB7m9IhC8G32aeyqoE= =gU6H -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
