Like people in freedesktop.org try to harmonize stuff between desktop (esp. KDE & Gnome), maybe it's time to propose a standart interface to package managment tools. A query could be mypackage a server response could be 0.0.1 GPL emerge [...] With that, you can write a tool (a new kio ?) which simply display the return values, and maybe allow action like emerge / install package, etc. Maybe xml-rpc should only be used to query the db, since it's may be not enough secure to allow managing the package db. This is just an idea ! -- Philippe -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
