Great job so far. Forgive me if I missed something, but wouldn't it be helpful to the user to let them know when automatically choosing for them? A single line in a logfile, einfo output, whatever, would be useful for people wondering how certain packages got pulled in. Users will continue to get errors if the constraints aren't met (or are wrong), but where will information go that indicates the automatic solver's choice? You and I can read an ebuild and guess from the dep spec, but what will a user look at?
I searched the GLEP page for "log", "einfo", and "output" with no results. If I've missed something please let me know. Thanks for the work that's been put into this so far. ~zlg -- Daniel Campbell - Gentoo Developer OpenPGP Key: 0x1EA055D6 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net fpr: AE03 9064 AE00 053C 270C 1DE4 6F7A 9091 1EA0 55D6
