Yes, that would be the most important issue :). |

Well, I cannot easily answer if anybody is doing what you intend to, because I |
| 10 |
did not completely understand what kind of configurator you are talking |
| 11 |
about: |
| 12 |
1. Do you want to create a gui configurator for make.conf (say to set USE |
| 13 |
flags, and other values)? |
| 14 |
Then the answer is - partially yes. Please take a look at bugs #2748 & #2846. |
| 15 |
Please also take a look at the tools available in gentoolkit. You will |
| 16 |
probably want as well to do a search on bugs.gentoo.org for certain keywords |
| 17 |
that would make sence to you. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Do you want to create a gui wrapper for emerge? |
| 20 |
Try looking in your portage tree for what's available. kportagemaster comes to |
| 21 |
mind. One of the tools in those two bugs I mentioned above is also somewhat |
| 22 |
relevant. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Generally, if you could formulate the concept of the tool you are looking |
| 25 |
into, that would help to identify related projects. Then you would probably |
| 26 |
want to post this description/proposal here *and* create a new bug describing |
| 27 |
what you intend to do and proposing your help. Also, for a real-time chat |
| 28 |
with core devs you can always get us on channel #gentoo at |
| 29 |
irc.openprojects.net. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
And great thanks for taking your time to make gentoo even better! |
