I think that is a good idea. It's a perfect google SoC project as it has a clear boundary. Limited prerequisite knowledge is required, and it is something we would really benefit from. Paul ps. Perhaps the SoC project could include fixing up the migration tools (for example including the hypothesis that all ebuilds for a package descend from eachother) and other coding necessary to make things work perfectly. -- Paul de Vrieze Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.devrieze.net
