Feature enhancements are on hold until the 227 currently open bugs are organized properly and the count lessened somewhat. Note, most existing feature requests have been marked as LATER so the above number is pretty much only real bugs. > 1- In /etc/make.conf add a new key to FEATURES that would cause portage to > cleanup the DISTDIR folder if everything emerges cleanly. Removing distfiles for packages when they are unmerged/upgraded will be added. When removing all distfiles, you'd end up downloading the same file several times when there are updates to the revision. > 2- How about "emerge apps" that would ONLY cover things NOT in "emerge sys"? This has not been considered, so opening a bug for this would be okay. Adding an "all" target is planned, which would cover everything installed regardless of presence in system or world. With such a target, changing "world" to not automatically include "system" should be fine. > 3- Make a list of hooks available to hackers, like myself. This is also planned. -- Jason Stubbs -- [email protected] mailing list
