Oh yeah development. Forgot that's what we do.. |

Here is what I'm doing these days.. |

|
| 21 |
Yesterday I pushed a new portage-utils that includes lots of |
| 22 |
enhancements to the qgrep util (Thanks TGL). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
With the help of others we are continuing our support of binary |
| 25 |
packages for lots of profiles (!releng stuff) which can be used |
| 26 |
for rescue in a pinch or fresh rapid installs as |
| 27 |
it's nice being able to setup a fully working current desktop |
| 28 |
in ~45 mins. |

|
| 31 |
In due time I'd like to take each of the major profiles and setup 3 |
| 32 |
build environments for them. One for strictly server (-X -alsa) then |
| 33 |
another for (+gnome stuff) and another for (+kde stuff) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I'm looking for help from c coders to improve the portage-utils(qmerge) |
| 36 |
applet and package/profile requests from people who would be interested |
| 37 |
in rapid install methods. |
