Impossible that portage will ever be able to really support anything like this... or... already done and I (along with Jean-Francois and Michael Schilling) am just too stupid to see it? Make up your mind... For all the credit that I give to the Gentoo developers, you are one from whom I would withdraw it. You are merely a polarity responder and as such, not worth engaging any further. You would do Gentoo a service by keeping your mouth shut in response to posts like mine (and many others I'm sure). If I were not so self-assured, you would simply drive me away from Gentoo with such ugly remarks, and I've no doubt that you have driven away many others who are less self-assured. You're in my kill file now, so don't waste your time and the bandwidth by responding. All mailing lists have a topic and attempting to ridicule other people is not on-topic in any of them... certainly not here. It just facilitates making you look like a jerk which you need no assistance with. -Kevin -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
