Description Samuel Damashek (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-12-15 18:02:31 UTC
dev-python/python-irclib-0.4.8 and dev-python/python-irclib-0.4.8-r1 are extremely outdated duplicate packages of dev-python/irc which is up-to-date. I recommend pruning the dev-python/python-irclib package from the tree.
Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2013-12-16 14:47:45 UTC
Any reverse deps we need to worry about?
Comment 2 Samuel Damashek (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-12-16 16:54:10 UTC
A search turned up no reverse dependencies (they all use dev-python/irc).

There are two ebuilds using it in overlays though [1].

Breakages of rdeps in overlays is not always the blocker for package removal.

In this particular case we have: 1 overlay is "meta" overlay called "bgo-overlay" and it's just collections of crawled ebuilds from our bugzilla. And the second one(last-hope) is overlay, ruled by ercpe, so CCing him.
Comment 5 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2013-12-16 17:32:31 UTC
Ok, I will last-rite this when I have a chance, unless someone else beats me to it.

Sure. Just pointing out potential problems. Proper lastrite shouldn't be an issue.

Oh, I knew that 'bgo' ringed a bell :D.
