Tools like herdstat use the HERDS environment variable. If other parsers/users of herds.xml are modified to use the same HERDS then its a consistant win for cvs users. How many tools are there? Once herds.xml gets added to the $PORTDIR/metadata herdstat (and other programs) will be a lot easier to use for non-devs and budding devs. > Either solutions works for me however, mainly after the file being in > the tree for majority of users. > ~harring I'd be really happy to see it added. Since there really no objection who controls the staging server enough to implement this? I'm happy to write up a bug report but I'm not sure who to assign it to. -- Daniel Black <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Crypto/dev-embedded/Forensics/NetMon
