I like the color highlights for ebuilds that have been installed and those that are masked. Here's a few things that you may want to consider: 1) This is most likely already in your plans: an emerge rsync button and an emerge -u system button. Maybe even an emerge --clean button. 2) The ability to set the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS when merging. Perhaps even cache these settings somehow. 3) The ability to do the stages of ebuild directly, i.e. ebuild unpack, compile, install, merge. 4) The ability to merge previous versions of an ebuild. That's the only suggestions I can come up with at the moment. Keep up the good work!
