Thank you both for your detailed replies. I've got quite a list of additional notions now for trying to implement this idea myself, and I'm very grateful for the thoughtful suggestions. I also have a better understanding of current portage capabilities, so I appreciate the additional commentary on that.
If I explore this idea with any further discussion, I'll be sure to follow the suggestions here about another list and reading past messages on that list. -Kevin -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
