There's a command help list when you run the tool, but besides that, |
| 10 |
nothing. Essentially you run a "bumpchecker" tool and that generates a |
| 11 |
static html page after parsing upstream versions and portage/overlay |
| 12 |
status. |

It's already being used by the gnome and x11 herds. Here are sample |
| 18 |
(somewhat outdated) pages: |

Recently, patches for perl package support floated around, but I'm not |
| 25 |
sure what happened to them. |

Just one: checking the progress of upstream package versions with |
| 32 |
portage/overlay package versions. |

This is why grumpy was envisioned. Besides having information about |
| 35 |
upstream/downstream progress, it would have information about bugs, |
| 36 |
stable/unstable keywords, p.mask, repoman/pcheck runs, test failures, |
| 37 |
etc. |
