Is this ok: !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "porthole" have been masked. Or is there any, which is not masked? And -- if portage is meant as main engine and porthole as it's gui, isnt it a bit fuzzy to add speed-ups to porthole instead of portage? If it continues like that, it may end up with someone writing command-line tool for controlling porthole :P I think that if application has 2 layers, one for logic and another for GUI, then it's maybe not the best way of coding to add such kind of features to GUI part of package. I personally would definitely try to make portage itself support indexing and other such stuff to keep things clean. Am i wrong? Or is it in plans to make gentoo a GUI linux with very weak command-line support? I think that GUI code would be *clean* if it's just a GUI! > -- > Brian > > -- > gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list > > -- tvali (e-mail: "qtvali@gmail.com"; msn: "qtvali@gmail.com"; icq: "317-492-912") =DChe eesti internetifirma lehel kohtasin tsitaati: If you don't do it excellently, dont do it at all.
