i looked through portage code and we do have xml parsing sprinkled |
| 30 |
throughout, mostly in repoman for obvious reasons. why are we trying to |
| 31 |
avoid xml? to be honest i don't have strong feelings about either the |
| 32 |
flat file (a la /etc/passwd) or xml. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
i'm interested in this because the hardened-sources kernel does make use |
| 35 |
of some special uid/gids. gengor pointed me to glep 27 and suggested |
| 36 |
that i implement it but i wasn't that interested. still, it would clean |
| 37 |
up the hardened. |
