As you surely have read in one or two of the mails before, some people wouldn't place either the user or the client into the portage group. And I don't want this too, because I think the portage group should only be for gentoo-related portage-tools and not for such a statistics tool which has nothing to do with portage. Some other people also don't want the user who runs basc to be able to emerge something what can be possible if he is in the portage group I think. But I'm not sure if he would be able to emerge something then. -- http://de.gentoo-wiki.com Alexander Mieland (aka dma147) http://www.gentoo-stats.org Registered Linux-User #249600 http://www.php-programs.de GnuGPG-ID: 27491179 http://www.affen-in-not.de www.php-programs.de/dma147.asc
