I'm well aware of that. That will get you a list of what you maintain, but not which of those things use python2. It is also completely external. (I do love that tool though - great for finding bumps.) grep is really not a reliable tool for parsing ebuilds. The API is really the right way to do it. What I was getting at though is that just posting a big list up-front will probably get more results than just telling everybody to try to figure out if they're impacted. (Also, I noticed that the list I sent out earlier contained some overlay-only packages - probably best to re-run it on a clean repository. Since it uses the API it sees everything portage sees, including overlays.) -- Rich
