1 I saw xxdiff on freshmeat described as :
2 xxdiff is a graphical browser for viewing the differences between two or three files,
3 or between two directories, and can be used to produce a merged version.
4
5 So i immediately looked in portage/x11-misc ( i know i can use #qpkg xxdiff to find it),
6 only to find it was in dev-util.
7
8 Notwithstanding the use of qpkg, i still think its a good idea to have ebuilds in their
9 likely categories. But should ebuilds also be listed in more than one category?
10
11 As the number of ebuilds grows into the thousands( i hope) they may just clutter
12 the tree, even if there is a gui front-end made for browsing portage ebuilds.
13 (Storm Linux- a Debian distro had a really good bowser, showing dependencies etc.)
