For everyone else...

I'm currently generating my own categories file from the completed 
categories list in use.local.desc

$ cat /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc | sed '1,/# The following 
categories/d;/# End of metadata categories/,$d' | wc -l
34

$ cat /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc | grep -v '^#' | cut -d '/' 
-f 1 | sort -u | wc -l
132

Which means we've got just over 25% of the tree converted.. good job all.

Here are the following steps that I'm doing to generate use.local.desc 
currently..


$ cat use.local.desc | sed '1,/# The following categories/d;/# End of 
metadata categories/,$d;s/^../^/' > tmp.categories
$ grep -v -f tmp.categories use.local.desc | grep -v '^#' > 
tmp.use.local.desc
$ cat tmp.categories | cut -d '^' -f 2 > tmp.categories
$ use_desc_gen --repo_path ~/work/gentoo-x86/ --category_path 
tmp.categories >> tmp.use.local.desc
$ grep '^#' use.local.desc > use.local.desc
$ cat tmp.use.local.desc | sort -t ' ' -k1,1 >> use.local.desc
$ cvs commit -m "generated use.local.desc" use.local.desc

Currently step 4 is hindered by bugs #233208 & #233212

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233208
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233212

If anyone has any suggestions for an improved workflow while we work to 
convert the other 75% of the tree, feel free to speak up.
