So you're saying if I'm interested in a url to look for information about kalarm, I should search for it in metadata.xml of random kde packages? Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense to me. While I'm not necessarily against your primary goal here, your argumentation is very subjective to say the least (e.g. just because you find xml easier to read/parse than ebuilds doesn't mean the same holds true for everyone else, ignoring the whole cache issue). It feels a bit like you're looking for problems to justify your solution rather than the other way round. Marius
