But, the entire topic is insanely complex, but more so than first appears. If you want to know more, read the C precedence rules, then read the C compiler code that implements it. Yep, that is what it takes. The major problems as I see it in doing this for portage is that we lack a precedence syntax. Putting one in is a major change to portage so not to be undertaken lightly. What I would like to see is the distinction between mask and unmask files go away and be replaced with one file for masks. Prefix + (or none) means one thing, prefix - means the opposite - much like USE flags are done. Finally, there are no implicit rules that will ever fully describe what we users want to do with masks. At some point there must be an explicit syntax to cover these - which is what we do with nested parentheses in maths. A good example of such a syntax is /etc/hosts.allow which allows nesting of ranges. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

[gentoo-user] xmltv to MySQL ???
Hi, I am looking for a tool to simply put the contents of xmltv-files into a MySQL database. I googled a lot this day and found some tools but some does not use MySQL (for example one uses Postgresql) other have started a project but do not release any code. And lot tools are part of very very big packages and cannot be cut out of them in a simple way. I only want a xmltv-reader which feeds the data into MySQL. Everything else is done elsewhere... Does anyone know a tool like this? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Have a nice weekend! Best regards, mcc
