I really, really, REALLY, *REALLY* don't want to implement anything like that. As I said, it's a PITA enough supporting catalyst in all the millions of crazy ways people come up with using it. Making it "easy", and thereby encouraging people, to poke around in the caches is the absolute last thing I want to do. I'm thinking about my sanity here. It is *very* rare that you should ever need to do anything in the cache itself. For troubleshooting, the information is available via other means, such as logs and temporary files that aren't deleted on failure. > Mind you, I love your app, but it's "as easy as its harder point" -> portage > emerging lots of files wo/errors seems almost impossible.

It does take Release Engineering upwards of a month to stabilize any given snapshot to build a release. Maybe there's a reason for that. ;] Hint: it isn't catalyst's fault (most of the time) -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
