My idea was to integrate this with emerge, and this seemed something not very easy. But I totally agree that it's very easy (too for the SoC) to make an external tool to do that. So, since you think that emerge is not a place for that, I'll search for a new idea for the SoC and try to make this simple tool next week ;) Regards -- [email protected] mailing list
