I'm not sure if this is a new feature, but to my knowledge, package.* directories are able to emulate the structure you have in /var/db/repos/gentoo, i.e. <category>/<package>. > I think it should be relatively easy to script reading the line, extracting > the package name, munging the name, and writing the entire unmodified line > to a new file based on the munged name.

Somehow I always find a way of avoiding scripting, as I have a strong disliking towards it. I was just curious if there was a pre-existing tool included with Portage. -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA
