sqlite suits better and there are already portage devs thinking about |
18 |
bdb and sql backend so we could ask them about. I'm against anything bigger. |

Usually you split every task in subtask till they are simple enough to |
23 |
be addressed. |
24 |
EG: |
25 |
|
26 |
app->{front-end,back-end} |
27 |
| |
28 |
`=front-end->{ui-design,interface} |
29 |
| |
30 |
`=back-end->{portage-interface,private data(dbcache),other meaningful |
31 |
stuff,interface} |
32 |
... |
33 |
|
34 |
If you like order you may start after the split process thinking about |
35 |
the interface part (which object will do that? which relation between |
36 |
them?) and then about filling the functional part. |
37 |
|
38 |
at least those are my suggestion, that may be good or bad for you. |
