I'm taking care of the new GNUstep ebuilds; to make a long story short, the old ones where very antiquated and such. In July or so, I used epkgmove to move the GNUstep ebuilds to new categories in the tree; I'm not sure if it was a bug or something, but app-gnustep category did not get removed. To fix this: # su - # rm -Rf /usr/portage/app-gnustep # emerege --sync <-- (or rsync, whatever works for you) ... after doing this, you should notice the app-gnustep category has not reappeared. Why an rsync didn't remove the category, I do not know.
Changing to "assigned" until i can figure out if there's a way I can "force" rsync to remove that directory.
to assigned now...
(net connection freaked out, "assigned" didn't take)
If anyone is still experiencing this problem (and has not yet done the aforementioned solution), could you please post and line's in your /etc/make.conf with RSYNC_EXCLUDEFROM in them? This is for further testng one my end; it is likely you do not have this line in /etc/make.conf unless you put it there.
Turned out to be a bug in emerge was not removing empty/old/cvs rm'd categories/directories; carpaski said he has fixed this. Closing this bug.
