Description Martin McDermott 2003-08-26 10:25:28 UTC
Id like a package managemnet system for Portage.

1) Easier way to come up with binary ebuilds. It would be nice if there was a 
way to make a binary ebuild and its deps. Now im using a script, this would be 
a nice feature.

2) Some kind of configuration for a 'update system'. I mean, having one 
portage be used for a couple of machines. 

So if i have a firewall thats a p1, a laptop thats a  p3 and a desktop thats a 
p4 my desktop could dish out updates. It would know what software is on what 
machine(and its version) and would update as needed and use specific compile 
flags(in my case different per machine).

This would really help alot of people. I have a small lan and a small network 
at my school, this would make Gentoo scale alot better and be alittle more 
professional.

`emerge world -eB` 
`quickpkg \*` 
 
i dont really see the bug ... you can easily build a package on a system, just by 
using `emerge world -ub` ... 
 
the '1 portage multiple machines' is another bug (enterprise management)

Spanky, you know that emerge -eB doesn't work ?
