So the PMS process should be a bottleneck to getting software out to users? I think that's counter-productive. Our goal here is not to facilitate package manager development but to package and distribute software to users. On the other hand, you seem to be uniquely inclined to give a priority to this, and hence I implore you to continue your investigations into adding this feature to PMS and portage. :) Cheers, -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
