Hi, according to https://bugs.gentoo.org/718972 (and a posting in the dev list), gsutil (and all needed libs) will be removed from the tree because "it's broken" (which is not true - works like a charm).
Since I do need gsutil urgently, I have already copied the needed ebuilds from /usr/portage to a local overlay in order to "emerge -c gsutil::gentoo" and then "emerge gsutil::local". But then came to my mind: Is that necessary at all? As far as I know, I can just leave discontinued packages installed and continue to use them - regardless of whether they are still in portage tree or not. True or false? Or is it better to get rid of portage/ebuilds at all and do a manual installation, as described at https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil_install?hl=en ? Thanks, -Matt
