Ops. My irony sensors must be badly broken today. Probably spending nights writing a badly procrastinated ph.d. thesis does not help. :) > I can't imagine how one would run portage in a GUI - to me it's very > much a command line job Well, on Debian-like systems I absolutely *love* Synaptic. To me, it's what a user-friendly package manager should look like. I have only very little experience with Portage GUIs. Problem, it seems, is that there isn't one single project where people is focused (Kuroo, Porthole, and now Portato which I didn't know). The Portage CLI is fine with me, but I'd like to know about the GUI options. They can always be handy. (On my wild dreams, once I thought to write a Python-based FUSE filesystem abstracting Portage. I did never ever went further than the very early planning phase, mostly because FUSE documentation was a nightmare. I'd like to know what people think of it,anyway.) m. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
