Hola, |
2 |
|
3 |
I've been inspired by the local/global USE flag threads recently |
4 |
posted by Doug (Cardoe), and it got me to thinking... I've recently |
5 |
joined the pkgcore development effort, and was asked by Brian |
6 |
(ferringb) what I'd like to hack on/what my niggles with portage are. |
7 |
My personal one is why updates/ and binpkg mangling takes so long in |
8 |
portage-$current. But I'd like to know, what are everyone elses? |
9 |
|
10 |
I know that this topic have been rehashed since the dawn of |
11 |
time^Wgentoo-dev, but these things get lost, opinions change... and |
12 |
since last year, new and viable alternate package managers have |
13 |
cropped up. So, basically I'd like to ask all on this list: - what |
14 |
package manager features would make *your* life easier? |
15 |
|
16 |
Personally, I'd like to see the following groups of changes happen one |
17 |
way or another: |
18 |
|
19 |
* Improve QA with/by: |
20 |
- Detecting conflicting USE flags; |
21 |
- Limiting the amount of times we need to call "die" in ebuilds. |
22 |
|
23 |
Yes, that's a small list... which is why I'm sending this mail to |
24 |
solicit even more ideas. :) |

26 |
Comments, flames ("read the archives", "go jump in a pond", etc) and |
27 |
whatever else is coming my way - hit it me with it! ;P |
