I'm not sure that's really a feasible solution (but then you probably weren't suggesting it with that intention). Being able to create a "backup" of any installed package without re-emerging is pretty handy. Many people use it and there would be a revolt if quickpkg were removed. I use FEATURES="buildpkg" myself, so I've always got that backup. -- Andrew Gaffney http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Catalyst/Installer + x86 release coordinator -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
