Hello, |
| 2 |

I'm the developer of ViewPortageX, a nice superkaramba theme that basically |
| 4 |
parses packages.gentoo.org to display the changes in the displayed |
| 5 |
package-tree. So it helps you to supervise the changes in portage. |
| 6 |
This cuts down my syncs for example from once in two days to once in two weeks |
| 7 |
(normally). |

ViewPortageX does some stuff more now, but that is its basic task. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Well, I want to improve it now, let it supervise all changes in the tree and |
| 12 |
even let it evaluate your packages.keywords. |
| 13 |
So it would be able print out something that comes pretty close to an emerge |
| 14 |
-p world. |
| 15 |
Well, I would be able to fetch all the needed information from |
| 16 |
packages.gentoo.org, but I think there must be more efficient ways, as this |
| 17 |
would cost much traffic and it is a little CPU-consuming. |
| 18 |
So, perhaps you have an idea from were I can better fetch the updates in |
| 19 |
portage? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Oh and I would like to make more use of the portage-API. Is there a |
| 22 |
documentation of it somewhere? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Thanks, |
| 25 |
