Re: [gentoo-dev] A nice idea to improve portage

["MooktaKiNG" <Mooktakim@hotmail.com>]

But i usually start an emerge and then do && halt

This shutsdown gentoo after the emerge.

Its still the same problem.

But why can't we have both?

A readme should not me too hard. The person who makes the actual
ebuild just types a small README to explain stuff. Thats all.
