As I understand it, every one of these package removals is first package.masked for 30 days before the ebuilds are actually removed. So, the user has a month in which to do something about this. When they sync and try to update any time during that month, they will see a message, telling them that that package is scheduled for removal, and pointing them at the relevant bugs in bugzilla. So, isn't package.mask already that "database"? Or am I missing something? -- Mike Kelly -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
