I may not have interpreted your message correctly. If I inferred something from it that you didn't intend to convey, please clarify. Developing the Portage software itself is an entirely different process than creating an ebuild: unless you're planning to contribute enhancement code to Gentoolkit or Portage, they're just a set of tools for package development and management. In order to create an ebuild, you need to know what package you /want/ to bring into the tree. Randomly submitting ebuilds that will shortly thereafter be without a home is only a recipe for neglected packages. -- Anthony Gorecki Ectro-Linux Foundation -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
