So, can we finally get something decided on arbitrary depth categories? Not to put any additional pressure on portage devs, they are overworked as it is already, but just something like "yea, its a good thing, we can do it after such and such features are implemented" or "nah, we are going to just go with a flat list of packages in the future and resort to searches anyway" (to make both camps happy ;)). The tree, the way it is now, clearly does not scale. George -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
