Hi all,

Sorry for the long delay, had a hard time with latest umbrello
version, and coul dn't find an alternative that would create a decent
ER UML graph. If anyone has better experience with any other software
i'm open to suggestions.

Now about the doc, it's complete as but it's not final. This means I
still have some issues with the current database layout, specially
with the dependencies, I just found some deps I wasn't aware of, like
|| ( ( cat1/pkg1 cat2/pkg2) cat3/pkg3) and I need a new ER for this.
So please understand the doc and the graph as a work in progress.
This means i'd love to ear suggestions and i'm open to discussion in
every detail possible.

The doc is available at
http://student.dei.uc.pt/~rjlouro/PortageDB.pdf and as the previous,
anyone is free to mirror it if necessary.

I got some great mails regarding this project, specially libconf from
a gentoo developer and i'll be looking into all the suggestions,
thanks to everyone that sent me private or public email. I'm
currently developing the client/server parts that will allow each
client to search the portage DB and ask for packages, although the
dependency part is not finished, but I have a presentation monday and
I need to show some work done.

Another note, while talking to some friends they misunderstood the
project as official gentoo-server project, that's not what I meant
and it was just a way of identifying the kind of project. This is not
official, it's not meant to be official and all the naming (portageDB,
econf, etc) can be changed, this was just what came to my mind.
