In order to maintain consistancey and a good user experiance I think its time to port the Gentoo MacOS portage GUI to gnome or kde widgets for non-apple systems. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
We currently have no GUI yet :-) There is the iPortage wxPython thing we created a few months ago. It runs without problem on all supported gentoo architectures and platforms. We'll take this suggestion into account when updating our roadmap. Thnxs.
For further information the GUI I was talking about was featured in this interview with the Gentoo PPC founder Pieter Van den Abeele. http://www.drunkenblog.com/drunkenblog-archives/000328.html
