I switched over to bzr about 2 months back; svn doesn't allow for offline |
9 |
committing, nor does gentoo's vcs allow for anon*... bzr natively allows for |
10 |
those capabilities, so that's what I'm using. :) |

Is where I'll be updating the code for at least the near future. |

is of interest; What's needed right now (eg, something I'm not |
28 |
currently working on) is functionality to inspect restriction groups. Might |
29 |
now make sense, but after reading through layout.txt and restrictions in the |
30 |
framework directory, ought to make a bit more sense ;) |
31 |
|
32 |
Basically... need the ability to descend through a restriction set and |
33 |
identify all restrictions that are a PackageRestriction checking the |
34 |
category attribute (fex); it's required for making repo.match a fair sight |
35 |
faster, and for part of the resolver work. |

Functionality is implemented for searching (pretty much can search via |
42 |
whatever you want with any insane combination of criteria), full |
43 |
building/fetching of an ebuild, merging/installing to a vdb, |
44 |
unmerging/uninstalling from a vdb. |

I've got a crappy replace operation I'm fixing up which will be pushed to |
47 |
ge.o sometime this week also, although the trigger work is dragging out. |
