..i'm not following this -- so it's common (ie, portage, paludis, etc all use it) because it's always been there? Anyways, if all the package managers do use it, then there isn't any reason at this juncture to not handle this via an update to vdb. If in the future different package managers use something different, then we'd need to have individual vdb-update scripts for each (differing) pms, but unless I misread you this is currently a non-issue.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAk/+4GQACgkQ2ugaI38ACPDP8QD9HPv+l8vFW7cm/xA5ksKhUUyD xzOtVY93XLL3ArhqlYkBAJxi98IIk5qWib6BK7VckhQLwJVmmHO+xtDPFuhP78rU =YIIr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
