What would be really nice would be linking .desktop files and ebuild files etc. and/or including enough information from an ebuild so that we can/could have a menu option to run the executable. For a lot of ebuilds this won't work, but It would be nifty none the less. -Kevin On 4/5/06, Pat Double <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wednesday 05 April 2006 07:04, you wrote: > > Ok, I thought you were planning the whole portage tree.
