How about a wrapper script that uses the guessing from your script then passes the correct name to flagedit? it would be so easy to implement the feature straight to flagedit, so it would not make sense to use a wrapper. well, i can live with just using my script but someone should make an feature request to flagedits maintainer, im too lazy to request it my self :) --husku -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Simplistic bash-script to manage package.use
greetings earthlings,
i did not found (nor did i look for long enough) any tools/scripts to
easily manage package.use file, so i did my own. now i started to think
that, if there really is not any, my creation would be sufficient
(although possibly buggy) for most users who wish to have easy control
over package.use.
yes, i know this is not the best place to announce but, this is not an
real announcement, this is an query for an superior solution which would
show my creation to be useless/dublicate/stupid. (if mine is
useless/stupid it would be nice, so i would not have to maintain it and
i also could use some real software).
