a while ago i thought about trying to generate an xml representation |
| 13 |
of the portage "database" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
i thought it would be cool to have it as xml cause then we could use |
| 16 |
it for various purposes it would include the entire portage tree and |
| 17 |
the database with extra bits to say wether a package was installed and |
| 18 |
when it was installed its only an idea right now but i dont think it |
| 19 |
would be too tricky to do |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
i would write it in perl but thats what i am good at |
| 22 |
and perl has some nifty XML modules |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
anyone else interested in this ?? |
