Description Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2014-11-01 19:43:56 UTC 
TL;DR: please drop dev-vcs/git-1.8.[12].*


To be able to make full use of subslot-triggered rebuilds at Perl updates, the Perl team intends to make perl-module.eclass and perl-app.eclass support only
EAPI=5 (and eventually later EAPIs) in the foreseeable future.

Please consider, where applicable,
* bumping the newest version of your package to EAPI=5
* stabilizing an EAPI=5 version
* dropping old versions
to the end that at some point all non-EAPI=5 versions have been removed.

Thank you!
