Ahh, I do sometimes get those backwards. To me, it is a pointer or what I use to indicate a action on my part, such as. <big grin> or <smacks forehead> > >> There is also a eix command that will search >> for and list unneeded entries in those files.I run it on occasion >> myself, when I think about it or run into cruft that doesn't need to be >> there anymore. > > Can you share this? I could definitely stand to clean up some portage > cruft. The command is: eix-test-obsolete If you are like me, it will spit out a whole lot of stuff. Keep in mind, some you may want to keep and will need to ignore but some you may can remove. Example. I run unstable KDE. However, if the version I'm using is stable, it spits out that it is no longer needed. Thing is, when I sync later and a new unstable version is available, I need those entries to be able to install the unstable version. You just have to look at what it says and recall why you have that entry to be sure you want to remove it. >> Unless I'm reading that wrong, that could cause a problem. > > I have this file as well, with no openrc problems.

After all, I don't think the devs will putting a version that old back in the tree as a fix for anything. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
