Cool, little bit more than month ago there were only close to 1000 :-). I |

guess you see what I mean. It grows, and grows rapidly both in package and |

user count. It is so much easier to create ebuild. And it makes hot heads |

feel cool, allowing concerned people have all the control while automatyzing |

routine tasks. Please read the web page for more blurb :-). |

What if this is many systems that you need to maintain? And in many |
| 25 |
"standard" apps you find that you need to apply that or other tweak? |

And it is. |
| 30 |
emerge sys-kernel/linux-sources will only fetch and patch the sources. You |
| 31 |
configure and compile it yourself. And if you do not like patches just fetch |
| 32 |
and apply whatever you prefer. |

PS |
| 35 |
Is this a use question or a developer suggestion? |
| 36 |
In first case please head over to gentoo-user mailing list, in second please |
| 37 |
formulate it in a more clear way :-). |
