What I'd like portage do to is to create a symlink to the latest version

installed.  The first format coming to my mind would be:


What would be even nicer would be if it could create and maintain an
html index, for example at /usr/share/doc/index.html, to all package
html documentation in a similar way to that which gnu info maintains
the top level index to all info documentation on the system.


This would be a very cool feature. Not for portage though. Portage is a package manager, and a package manager has nothing to do with generating indexes of HTML files.


Yes this is why we created phase hooks :) Portage shouldn't symlink docs, but adding scripts to do so should be relatively simple ;)
