My main target would be to integrate distpatch (distfile delta support, a.k.a. my work on gsoc 2011) with portage. I sent the patch to the list years ago, but it never got any reviews, etc. I'm going to rewrite it and add some tests, etc. Can I join the team? :) Thanks! -- Rafael Goncalves Martins Gentoo Linux developer http://rafaelmartins.eng.br/
