1 Hey folks,
2 In the past month or so of using Gentoo, some questions:
3
4 Are these items in planning and/or development atm?
5
6 [1] Adding longer descriptions to ebuilds or to the package directory
7 (siilar to pkg-descr and family)? Adding it to the ebuild wouldnt make
8 much sense since you would end up with alot of dupes of the same
9 information when you had multiple ebuilds....so another file?
10
11 [1b] to go with above, a "emerge --info category/name" whcih will just
12 display the relevant info?
13
14 [2] emerge behavior...to not merge packages overtop of previous installs
15 of the same version without a --remerge or similar option? This would
16 just be a nice touch....
17
18 [3] emerge GUI?
19
20 Just curious......
21
22 TIA,
23 -Tom
