Re: [gentoo-dev] Last rites: app-admin/salt, dev-python/pytest-salt-factories, dev-python/boto

Hi Patrick,

The salt ebuild has been refactored to remove the tests and modules that 
require dev-python/boto, and the mask has been removed.


Salt has a lot of users, and it would be doing them a disservice to 
remove it from the tree.


Salt is not trivial to distribute, because upstream wants us to run
curl -o bootstrap-salt.sh -L https://bootstrap.saltproject.io

Thank you for saving the salt ebuild.
It really has a lot of users.

Best,
Jonas
