4 |

5 |
problems.... |

|

i want to do this so that i can use Portage at it's best! |
13 |
|
14 |
if we can solve this issue of Portage identifying already installed |
15 |
packages, i think it is a great task for Portage since no package |
16 |
managers have this facility. its like this,you give one command, say |
17 |
for example, "emerge find hdparm", this would search your system ( not |
18 |
the portage database or portage tree ) for the binaries of the tool or |
19 |
any technique can be used and if it is available in your system, just |
20 |
inject it. Yes, there will be many issues, but when customized to be |
21 |
used in other distros, i dont think this would be a tough job. |

with regards, |
