I was thinking. Wouldn't it be better if the portage tree was split into mutiple modules |
| 2 |
in cvs? |

That way you can update individual modules (or directories inside /usr/portage) at a |
| 4 |
time. that means less stress on the server and you can work on the files you want, when |
| 5 |
you want, fairly easily. |

|

Just thinking it might be best to do that. |
