Just for clarification, I never thought you were demanding anything. As for your idea, it is definitely feasible, but not something I would *ever* want to implement. As much as you say it would be useful, I see it as a waste of *my* time, because it will encourage people to fiddle with their caches, and those people will be coming here, asking for help/support. What this means is that so long as I not only develop, but also *support* catalyst, I won't add anything that provides Release Engineering with no additional useful functionality but only serves to reduce my own availability for working on actual bugs. As much as I can see the needs of the casual/one-time user, I'm not designing a system catered to them. I think catalyst is too high of a learning curve already for a casual/one-time user, so I'd rather teach them the "right" way to go about using the tool if they have to do that much learning already. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
