The portage that this will be put into (if it is done) will support |
| 8 |
slot-based atoms. Brian has brought up some issues with it being done via |
| 9 |
an ebuild function, though. Not sure what they are as it's pretty much the |
| 10 |
same as it's pretty much the same as pkg_fetch(), but... |

Another alternative is to use metadata.xml for this stuff. That would have |
| 13 |
the advantage of being able to create a separate tool now without having |
| 14 |
to change any ebuild semantics. It also has the added bonus that information |
| 15 |
could be queried regardless as to what is installed. For example, |
| 16 |
(re-)accessing important udev upgrade notes after upgrading. |
