Actually to those here who think this is "too complex" I would like to |
| 22 |
point that this does |
| 23 |
a: follow a specified standard |
| 24 |
b: provide the necessary flexibility and modularity |
| 25 |
c: integrate with small changes to our ebuildtree. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
consider that we don't have to provide massive fileupdates, global lists |
| 29 |
coherent with our tree, but each capable and installed package requires |
| 30 |
a small change that goes back and forwards with versions without |
| 31 |
overhead for versionbumps. |
