What I'd like to see were multiple portage backends for the tree (filesystem, sql-db, berkley-db, ...) and the user can choose in make.conf which he wants to use. So people who already have a sql db on their machine can use this without forcing these dependencies on all users. Of course this is a lot of work but would give portage a lot of flexibility. Backend conversion could be covered by some tools or simply changing backend module and rsync'ing the tree. Marius -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
