| I think that is a good solution. I'm not really into portage though, |
| 26 |
so you'd |
| 27 |
| need to ask what the portage people think of it. |

Hi Thomas, |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I'm thinking of changing the format a bit to use real xml:lang tags |
| 34 |
according |
| 35 |
to the standard. At that point I will change all metadata.xml files that |
| 36 |
use |
| 37 |
the lang attribute by a small xslt script. I'm not opposed to moving the |
| 38 |
short descriptions to the metadata.xml file, but there is one condition. I |
| 39 |
want that support is first added to portage for this. I can help in making |
| 40 |
sure that the DTD is ok for working with portage, but if we don't have |
| 41 |
support first in portage for reading these files we will go nowhere. |
| 42 |
