Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2019-05-06 22:00:38 UTC
For tools that need to perform multiple operations on a binary package repository (like eclean-pkg does), it would be nice if they could acquire a reentrant lock on the repository, similar the existing reentrant lock/unlock methods provided by the vardbapi class.
