Adding the QA police since nothing has happened.
yeah, they really should change over to keepdir syntax, not touch syntax -- Spider, foser, speak up, y'all
the gdm can be moved yeah, however right now gconf does it this way in order to prevent .keep from be removed when an old slot is removed, this way prevents it from going into the land where multiple packages (slots in this case) own the same files.
agh.. Seems I've broken repoman, not committing the fix here
I'd say that portage has too many nitwit functionality that isn't needed and nobody really knows about (i've never seen a useful ChangeLog coming with a release), while core functionality is still lacking. What we do in gdm is exactly what keepdir does & gconf is even a step further than the portage mork because it actually takes slots into account. I'd say there are more immediate jobs for QA to do then to focus on pushing for the functional equivalent in portage of functionality in ebuilds that work just fine. But hey, that's just me...
ok, fixed the older gdm ebuilds to use keepdir instead of touch. The gconf syntax is more advanced and cannot be replaced with current keepdir functionality, so we'll leave that one as it is.
