Well, I didn't find it with the miserably little effort I put into looking... so instead, I wrote up a quick hack to emerge to implement use of a pager any time the internal display() function is called. I made the mistake of writing it against the 'stable' version of portage, though... so I'll be (hopefully) porting it over to Portage 2.2_rc12 (the newest my current state of laziness allows on my amd64 machine). Any chance anyone here's a bit more skilled with python than I am and would want to remind me of all the error checking I left out? After I get a patch handy, at least... As for the 'fix the uname' bit... I haven't had a chance to dig through the changelogs to see the who/when/why of the change that made it what it is now, and whether (as was clarified as likely in the related thread here) the current output is what's "intended." -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
