[...] This is because this user is effectively split from ftpbase which is maintainer-needed.

I still have some OldWorld Macs, but I'm okay with tree cleaning it. Didn't we have some "archive" for old ebuilds? Maybe we can move it there. -- Anthony G.

I can do it on timberdoodle. The issue is that the package is for "OldWorld" Macs (like 20+ years old).

The issue is that the package is for "OldWorld" Macs (like 20+ years old). We recently dropped the bootloader, sys-boot/quik, so I think we'd be fine to drop sys-apps/powerpc-utils as well.

Not that it will usually work since Portage will install > the user early anyway. It isn't very useful then, and is more error prone than having RDEPEND in both the second and third case. Plus, errors won't be necessarily caught, because Portage will treat PDEPEND in the same way as RDEPEND (unless there would be circular dependencies, but I don't see how that could happen). So, simplify and go for RDEPEND (+DEPEND if needed) only? Ulrich signature.asc Description: PGP signature
