22 Yes that does the trick. Thank you.

24 I didn't know if there was an internal portage module that could reload /etc/make.conf.
25 It did not seem to slow a reload down too much on my system but I imagine it could for
26 some of the older slower machines. Now I'll have to come up with a method for plugins
27 to interface with porthole. Hopefully Dan will be back in operation soon so we can set up
28 a good plan of attack.

31 Also, while I've got your attention. I was experimenting with some things and noticed that
32 when I had temporarily renamed /etc/portage/package.keywords, porthole seemed to reload the
33 upgrades list in less than half the time. Is there any plan or thoughts to cache the file
34 (if it isn't already) to speed things up, or is it something unavoidable.
