I appreciate your concern. Actually, I had originally intended to do |
2 |
a lot of planning and designing in the first few weeks, but in the end |
3 |
my impatience got the better of me and I started coding. I have some |
4 |
fairly clear ideas in mind of how I expect it to be possible to have |
5 |
options for different distros and I'm slowly working towards making |
6 |
the code agree with those ideas - trying to write as much reusable |
7 |
low-level code as possible, keep things that are Gentoo-dependent |
8 |
high-level and compartmentalized from the more generic code, etc. I'm |
9 |
quite optimistic, and depending how far off that optimism is, I might |
10 |
even change my mind by the end of the summer and try adding support |
11 |
for some other package manager/distro. |
