`emaint --inject foo/bar-1.0` should insert it into package.provided
what's the point of having a special tool to do the same as 'echo >> /etc/portage/package.provided'?
user friendliness
Whereever you stick it, it definitely should not be in emaint. emaint is specifically for _health_ check & fix app(let)s.
Don't know what happened to the first half of the summary replacement..
then you'll have to provide a seperate app to edit package.use and p.mask too... how is echo or cat less userfriendly to add a line to a file than a special app? i mean, it's a freaking one-liner...
(In reply to comment #5) > how is echo or cat less userfriendly to add a line to a file than a > special app? i mean, it's a freaking one-liner... The special app could do validation. However, portage should probabably validate these things elsewhere anyway (to catch mistakes made during hand editing, corruption, etc...).
Seems nobody had enough interest in this to implement it, and IMO package.provided has caused enough irritations that making it more accessible might not be the best idea (and the suggested functionality is indeed trivial).
