Well, there is an app in gentoo that can already handle every VCS type. |
| 20 |
It could easily be modified to handle the above syntax. The portage |
| 21 |
mods would also not be difficult to interface to it. The BAD!!! part is |
| 22 |
that it would require even more time for portage to sort out the VCS |
| 23 |
deps that would need to be added to it's dep calculations after checking |
| 24 |
the SRC_URI. |

GOD!, it's already getting slower than it was many years ago before |
| 27 |
Brian's pkgcore optimizations began to be applied. Not to mention GB's |
| 28 |
of memory and multiple cores now available that wasn't those many years |
| 29 |
ago... |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The other thing is that would put a mandatory system requirement on |
| 32 |
layman which many of the devs would be opposed to. But, there is an open |
| 33 |
bug calling for it to be merged with portage... |
