Oh yeah development. Forgot that's what we do.. Here is what I'm doing these days.. Yesterday I pushed a new portage-utils that includes lots of enhancements to the qgrep util (Thanks TGL). With the help of others we are continuing our support of binary packages for lots of profiles (!releng stuff) which can be used for rescue in a pinch or fresh rapid installs as it's nice being able to setup a fully working current desktop in ~45 mins. http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/portage/local/misc/updates.php In due time I'd like to take each of the major profiles and setup 3 build environments for them. One for strictly server (-X -alsa) then another for (+gnome stuff) and another for (+kde stuff) I'm looking for help from c coders to improve the portage-utils(qmerge) applet and package/profile requests from people who would be interested in rapid install methods. -- Ned Ludd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Linux -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
