Description Nikoli 2010-05-30 18:13:10 UTC
findcruft is a tool to find orphaned files for unmerged packages.

It shows some false positives, but for most systems works well with 'grep -v -e ' and is useful, several ebuilds with different problems and obsolete versions exist in many overlay, I think it is necessary to add it in portage with appropriate warning.

Reproducible: Always

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Markos.
