Here is a script that will help you unmerge those old .ebuild's that are cluttering your system. The script will sort them by date, from oldest to newest. Pick a number of the ebuild to unmerge and hit enter. Typing any non-number here will break the script because I am too sleepy and tired to finish it and make it nice. To confirm unmerge, type "y" and hit enter. Typing anything else will deny unmerge. Have fun, and NO, there are no warranties, expressed or implied ;).

Bummer...looks like bugzilla chewed up my file and I can't attach it. Get it from http://www.brainfreeze.org/pkg-update
aeoo, I get a 404 on that link :(
I don't think we'll need this if we implement slots.
The slot functionality will remove the need for such a script imho, therefor marking aas duplicate *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 278 ***
