What I'd like to see were multiple portage backends for the tree |
| 9 |
(filesystem, sql-db, berkley-db, ...) and the user can choose in |
| 10 |
make.conf which he wants to use. So people who already have a sql db on |
| 11 |
their machine can use this without forcing these dependencies on all |
| 12 |
users. Of course this is a lot of work but would give portage a lot of |
| 13 |
flexibility. Backend conversion could be covered by some tools or simply |
| 14 |
changing backend module and rsync'ing the tree. |
