Hello everyone,
A few days ago i glanced over package.mask , and i was surprised
about how many non-existent ebuild/packages entries are there.
So, i wrote a script to try to get a list of those orphaned entries,
and it looks like there are more than 400 packages/ebuilds which are still
listed in p.m but that don't exist in the tree anymore.
(A bunch of them from the KDE herd btw)
*Please* take a look at http://dev.gentoo.org/~araujo/old_package.mask ,
for the list of these non-existent ebuilds/packages, in case you have
forgotten something
in there. I'd like if every person takes care of their own entries if
possible.
If not, i *personally* could go slowly removing the entries, along with
other
people willing to help, or any other _better_ suggestion to deal with this?
I *of course* haven't checked all of the entry generated by the script
manually ,
so there might probably exist packages which are indeed correct, so
please re-check
before doing something.
I also noticed (slight detail) that there are a couple of recent entries
at the bottom
of this file, isn't the policy to have new entries added at the top? ,
is there any special
reason for this?
Ok, that's all for now!
