I currently view it as experimental ground for 'stuff we'd like in Portage'. I'm working on making libGentool that offers various basic functionality, like finding packages based on various filters (contains foo, provides bar, relies on baz, license gpl, whatever the info in the Portage tree can give me). Then I'll export this functionality to a web interface and to a command line interface. If the need arises, we can probably export this to Red Carpet or whatever fancy GUI interface we decide on at a later stage. As with Portage, it will all be written in Python. Makes it more probable that interesting code/functionality will be moved into Portage proper/adapted into Portage later on. If anybody have other thoughts for what Gentool should and should not be, don't hesitate to flame ;p Regards, Karl T
