1 Hi all!
2
3 I have been fiddling around with optparse a lot this weekend and i
4 also tried to clean up the package structure.
5 I created a working ebuild as well, but I'm not yet using it, since I
6 would have to remerge after every commit (and therefore I'd have to
7 make commits _all the time_)
8
9 I was wondering what the best way to parse the input would be..
10 started out with -I, -U etc... but I think the best solution now is:
11 # ./package-version.py install/upgrade/remove/purge
12 or when using the global tool:
13 # wacfg install/purge/upgrade/remove package version
14
15 The global tool is currently broken due to this change, but will be fixed soon.
16 Hopefully I'll get around to put in color-support.. i really like
17 color-support :)

20 Also Bene and I have been thinking about a global database, something
21 like layman's repo-list, where all the configfiles for the different
22 packages could be hosted so that one could even just do:
23 wacfg --use-online-repo install wordpress (ommitting a version
24 should obviously use the latest)
25
26 The problem with this is, however, that this way one can not tell
27 portage which dependencies a package has since portage is unaware of
28 it.
29 The global database is probably something for distros that are not
30 that aware of webapps yet - will evaluate that on debian later...
31 maybe.
