Any idea why your tinderbox decided to test an ebuild which has only just got *removed* from the tree?

the machine does not known the future. It has been tested before the removal

I was referring more to why it went on to emerge that particular version within ~1 hour of it having been removed from the tree - the removal commit is timestamped 18:36:14 UTC and repomirrorci merged it into the public repos at 19:05:18 UTC. Coincidence?

In the end no matter though, I personally patched 4.2.1 yesterday to use metainfo/ instead of appdata/ so as far as ~arch is concerned the matter is resolved.

this machine does not use repomirrorci, seee the commit timestamp at the beginning of the build log
