Indeed, that's what I ment. I'd like to have it a step further, though, |
| 22 |
by also including calls to change ownership and creating the scripts by |
| 23 |
the name of the package I'm emerging. That would (I hope) allow me after |
| 24 |
emerging a number of applications to go through my ctime-ordered shell |
| 25 |
scripts one by one, inspecting the scripts and running them if I see |
| 26 |
fit. |

I see from |

that there has been some heat around the topic. Grobian, can you shed |
| 31 |
some lights on the political situation on the issue? |
