Where 'Gentoo applications' == the portage UI itself ? Or are you |
29 |
talking about actually wrapping arbitrary packages in a GUI? |

|

The former, should definitely wait until portage 3 (saviour) is here, |
32 |
as that will be the first portage to actually have an API. |
33 |
|
34 |
The latter, is a completely crazy idea, but if you think you can pull |
35 |
it off, more power to ya ;) |

Sorry, I guess I don't understand the goal completely... |
