A news item isn't enough for breaking autobuilds. If we can't find a way to do this properly so portage knows how to upgrade then it is being done WRONG. Autobuilds break, gentoo can't be installed, the distro dies. I know, sounds like I'm making something out of nothing but every time people look at the stages and notice they are months out of date we find another blog post announcing how gentoo is dead. Honestly, if I knew a way to fix this I would have already made any changes needed to fix it. Please fix this, because if you don't, eventually I'll find a way and I doubt you will like it. - -Zero > > Additionally, the news item would state how to get rid of the old deps. > This will presumably involve something like: > > emerge -1v $( qdepends -NCQ dev-python/python-exec ) > > Please note that 'equery d' from gentoolkit is currently broken due to > some random magic inside portage and doesn't list all the packages > correctly. > > However, for the latter it would be probably preferred to wait with it > till python-exec:2 is stable on all arches to avoid rebuilding packages > twice in a short time. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSdVCJAAoJEKXdFCfdEflKLiwP/AjlCVUKeHo7wI8FO6W/VE4u 2Pv2VqaRGQ3KDn/yvHfClfXib8Eu4/KE1cc8kUoP4vspRQLiCz3qMqtYqFy9Y3DF fPYbBL5w4Z1V/sAho9pd3f2XHAOYwM/G1cD2GfbEHY5XdR4rk8w3AzK8cTCO5gL4 DmbBS1t/G3fLoNBud4pCpM+QCD1edwHWSptjWS2lQN9hNI9VwOBrXmuBKLPHR05F JyLWiiTbHPD6y/UquVa9uqdcHRJ5uTAyu9CZPu4CDrC3sJuFYuZxYZc2s4VjqyLo YKXhp5RJjFJT23ZNhM1eAUCH2jxiJM8JoTRC1gYY1mKuWqL3gLojPDjTqS5ukya6 C8mZ9dqEtqEisJuUQPBkuhfKfClmk0sDCTwrtEJCe4day7gX9w5uPZO1oFrJ+/8Y 6M0chyaU33XaZBIRLMo/KaCg0MccW3Oob2AVo8pesrPrmQwPnXnGvps8rlbrkpv+ lFdx1yh/phW2oWq3yVHf4LlPgrajDrgLzDgcVXYKByG/Nd2pKkkbzq/JfAwtfzck fpufYDbWF3j8ErVGjzWWQLR4NOzf01NC5Q/U4dCVR+Yy4+a0joSuTB6fz2+eFjz8 6NCr7i+lYPcrnnlvf97XBvXhbsf0NIhwiJtMkLi72LKgI+Wn3D/Xc3H62KqjsXDf Hc3RqAPCSO/GAqf5hqVl =VeiN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
