Double checking here, but surely, packages which have newer google code versions don't need the old versions killed prematurely. For instance, dev-perl/Google-Ads-AdWords-Client had[1] version 2.xxx from GoogleCode, but has a version 4.xxx now from CPAN/Github. I don't think I *need* to kill the 2.xxx version, and I'm no hurry to force everyone who was using 2.xxx to make a radical major version shift and break their code. So I think as long as: 1. No mirror restrictions 2. Its mirrored 3. There is a clear succession away from google code in newer versions. We're not harming anyone by keeping old versions from googlecode. So: > But still 400 ebuilds use googlecode. There may be significantly less here to worry about. 1: When writing this email I realised they might have mirrored a SHA-identical version of the old 2.xxx series to CPAN, and lo and behold, they did!, so this email now becomes a purely theoretical exercise :)
