Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

personally i'd prefer if we just take the try() function out of ebuild.sh but
some people would prefer a slower approach ...

that is, put an 'eerror' or 'ewarn' inside the function ... maybe like this:
try() {
    eerror "TRY() IS DEPRECATED.  PLEASE FILE A BUG AT http://bugs.gentoo.org/
TO GET THIS FIXED."
    <rest of try code>
}

oh, and repoman should check for it ...
aaaaaaaaand it'd be cool to note that i just finished updating all the ebuilds (that i found via a `grep -R try /usr/portage/*-*`) that still used `try`
