Why does everyone always say "like games" anyway? Games are essential, |
| 7 |
man. KDE and Gnome are cruft... ;p |

Honestly, if you're worried about the portage tree, stop updating it so |
| 10 |
much. There's really no need to be vigilant in portage updates. This |
| 11 |
will become even more true in the future with the security only |
| 12 |
updates. One other feature I would like to see is the ability to rsync |
| 13 |
only certain parts of the tree, similar to how cvs works. I should be |
| 14 |
able to be in my $PORTDIR/games-fps and do an "emerge dirsync" (or |
| 15 |
whatever) and have it sync just that directory. I think it would save |
| 16 |
the load on the servers if people are looking for specific updates to |
| 17 |
specific packages. |
