Hello, |
2 |
|

I'm the developer of ViewPortageX, a nice superkaramba theme that basically |
4 |
parses packages.gentoo.org to display the changes in the displayed |
5 |
package-tree. So it helps you to supervise the changes in portage. |
6 |
This cuts down my syncs for example from once in two days to once in two weeks |
7 |
(normally). |

ViewPortageX does some stuff more now, but that is its basic task. |
10 |
|
11 |
Well, I want to improve it now, let it supervise all changes in the tree and |
12 |
even let it evaluate your packages.keywords. |
13 |
So it would be able print out something that comes pretty close to an emerge |
14 |
-p world. |
15 |
Well, I would be able to fetch all the needed information from |
16 |
packages.gentoo.org, but I think there must be more efficient ways, as this |
17 |
would cost much traffic and it is a little CPU-consuming. |
18 |
So, perhaps you have an idea from were I can better fetch the updates in |
19 |
portage? |
20 |
|
21 |
Oh and I would like to make more use of the portage-API. Is there a |
22 |
documentation of it somewhere? |
23 |
|
24 |
Thanks, |
