Whilst I'm, by all means, no expert on this; I think when you look into it, |
17 |
you'll find that the eselect and update-alternatives functions are highly |
18 |
equivalent, so you should find it feasible to do the port the other way |
19 |
around, and translate the 'update-alternatives' to 'eselect'. Ideally if |
20 |
you can keep within the frameworks Gentoo already provides, this should |
21 |
make integration and maintenance a little easier! |
22 |
|
23 |
Otherwise, it sounds like you've got the size of the problem in hand, and I |
24 |
wish you all the best with the project! |
25 |
Best regards, |
