I am concerned about the call to python in the code for packages. This introduces a dependency to cfengine that in undesirable. If python can always be assumed to be installed on the system concerned this is probably ok, but I am not wild about such a work of "beauty" that others cannot easily understand. This needs to be made much more transparent to the reader.
Yes, it was just a hack.The call to Python was (1) assured of success (Portage is written in Python, so it _must_ be installed if the system uses Portage) and (2) was already written out and replaced with a call to a package utility in the patch I sent as [3/6]. Of course, this patch hasn't made it in to trunk yet, as Jo had some helpful criticism I'm still trying to compromise with what my patch needs to do to function.
