Long term, we should have an independent API backend that tools can query; not rewrite our tools every time users want to use them with a different package manager.=20 Yes, a side effect of not having that is that a lot of tools would need to be rewritten too if we would make a sudden move to pkgcore; or at least, it would mean that Portage would still need to be around to serve as an API, but that would also mean it still needs to be maintained. --=20 With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D --Sig_/U=CbFTa6w8ClhVWjZeRVsgE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJS0/xkAAoJEJWyH81tNOV9WogH/RyLqlThQP+hO1MJUwvMJUHY jps6JCF4hnDCLeq3/JfdARNwmXeu3v4a2a3ONa1Qlf8Qlk2ZR68ZobNnWvHi/P1/ /kAiaqr61AdTrNXi68ZaVETt3XzwZ9G6H2n48y+FTzMk45+aOGEZ5tjHe92ippdT UftreY7AWDzS/uiQZHIP8gf2c7CfWHSNnU+kgf6VLNKPStUjDxvQc0Ju1XR5adXH /vrMFk4kP7vxhAwtmZlvF5waY4W/c4OL5Q7fR5I2Yg7NKMCbuIv4ph5N0Ldb4lQc No/Kkp8bk1LQtGwQipp75u87CLPumysXGJoOkhZ5CCXd8cV9vTvz37M1qeA2dMk= =X1Ky -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/U=CbFTa6w8ClhVWjZeRVsgE--
