Is this means bugs.gentoo.org #136932?
I checkout "public_api" branch and merge into "master" branch to try.

I think public_api will solve this problem.

I thought the schedule the idea, "Tags support for Portage" is;
1. Implement tags support for Portage
2. Implement public_api for portage that cover all
3. Implement eix, esearch and equery that use public_api which has
been implemented in "2."

If all milestones would have been implemented, to use Portage's
function by other tools.

How about this idea?

Please point out :)

Thanks.
