No.
They could use wpa_supplicant. They could also be setting up their card
as an access point or as a sniffer device. They could even be allowing

There are 8 packages directly depending on eject and one suggesting to install
it (net-misc/krusader).

Outdated ebuild reporting system
Why
Reporting outdated ebuilds via bugzilla is in my opinion not the best
solution.
An outdated port isn't really a 'bug' and so there are many obsolete
reporting fields when posting a too old ebuild. The process should be

The problem is that: kde-base/kdesktop depends on eject (and probably is not
the only one), but eject is a non-portable, linux-dependant

Both do the same job - provide the tools to configure your wireless

wpa_supplicant is a daemon that runs in the background and when it

Actually, with the new elib/eclass layout, this one's easy to avoid.
Just make a tests/ subdirectory and exclude it from sync.
