Tools like herdstat use the HERDS environment variable. If other=20 parsers/users of herds.xml are modified to use the same HERDS then its a=20 consistant win for cvs users. How many tools are there? Once herds.xml gets added to the $PORTDIR/metadata herdstat (and other=20 programs) will be a lot easier to use for non-devs and budding devs. > Either solutions works for me however, mainly after the file being in > the tree for majority of users. > ~harring I'd be really happy to see it added. Since there really no objection who=20 controls the staging server enough to implement this? I'm happy to write up= a=20 bug report but I'm not sure who to assign it to. =2D-=20 Daniel Black Gentoo Crypto/dev-embedded/Forensics/NetMon --nextPart1297998.szTRFgGd5T Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3-ecc0.1.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEjhnHhhpKunZncJcRAoP7AJ4nVOntX/H/qfMkhzTuLswUHKMw9ACfWdU5 xvaC6Q3x0ujnzOwkrUqLv9A= =SL5/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1297998.szTRFgGd5T-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
