We're looking in the same way then. Every xyz-config (basic profile |
| 16 |
options) relies on the same "profile switching" principles so why not |
| 17 |
unite? java-config has both per-user settings and system settings for |
| 18 |
basic profile options, vm, jdk, etc... Those simpler and most-used |
| 19 |
options could be done as a "module" for an universal tool. Keep in |
| 20 |
mind that java-config is just beeing used as an example, "I mean you |
| 21 |
no harm" :). I would like to hear the opinion of developers of such |
| 22 |
xyz-config utilities regarding the creation of a modular easy way to |
| 23 |
unite so that a general utility can be created to create better gentoo |
| 24 |
usability. I would be glad to hear from developers of such utilities |
| 25 |
so that I can do a proper and specific proposal to this years SoC. |
| 26 |
I'll stop "spamming" Java's Project Thread. We should discuss this |
| 27 |
further in the Universal Select Tool thread. Thank you. |
