Yep, I'm still working out CVS and SourceForge, I have a TODO list |
| 14 |
around somewhere and that is one of the things on it |

I'm leaning towards a sort of "config" page so you can set |
| 20 |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS and PORTDIR_OVERLAY on the fly. I've already got |
| 21 |
rudimentary config file settings (/etc/webportage.conf) and I'm thinking |
| 22 |
of saving these sort of things in here. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I don't want to duplicate any config options that Portage already uses |
| 25 |
though ... having to set the same env vars in two places for essentially |
| 26 |
the same purpose is not a good idea :) |

OK, I'll see what I can do. |

I've been thinking about this one too, the only problem is that old |
| 36 |
ebuilds will be periodically wiped because emerge rsync now does a clean |
| 37 |
by default to remove old ebuilds. I think this action was taken because |
| 38 |
some people were using known broken ebuilds and still reporting the |
| 39 |
errors in bugzilla. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I'll look into it though. |
