Well, emerge is supposed to be able to be run without interaction; some packages (doom3, for example) do require action, but it's generally frowned upon. (And some ebuilds, like webapp-config's have be be massaged because configuration files are modified after all merges are complete.) More on topic, I like your idea, but not in a position right now to make the necessary hacks to portage. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
