Hello! net-misc/rsync (all current version in Portage tree, 2.6.9-r[12]) depends on sys-apps/portage. Is this needed? Maybe virtual/portage would suffice and it would help in adoption of other package managers. It may be also possible to remove this dependency as all present sys-apps/portage versions are higher than required, if this dependency is result of some needed portage features.
the version rsync needed is now stable, so depend is dropped
