Subject: [gentoo-dev] why is xxdiff (a graphical browser) not in portage/x11-misc?
Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2002 09:26:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020207092628.34c63a08.mikpolniak@adelphia.net> (raw)
I saw xxdiff on freshmeat described as :
xxdiff is a graphical browser for viewing the differences between two or three files,
or between two directories, and can be used to produce a merged version.
So i immediately looked in portage/x11-misc ( i know i can use #qpkg xxdiff to find it),
only to find it was in dev-util.
Notwithstanding the use of qpkg, i still think its a good idea to have ebuilds in their
likely categories. But should ebuilds also be listed in more than one category?
As the number of ebuilds grows into the thousands( i hope) they may just clutter
the tree, even if there is a gui front-end made for browsing portage ebuilds.
(Storm Linux- a Debian distro had a really good bowser, showing dependencies etc.)
