If you only wanted to index files from portage-installed packages, you could read the CONTENTS files in /var/db/pkg instead of scanning the filesystem. Limiting it to portage would also give the opportunity to call the script in an "update" mode from the portage post_inst hooks. -- Neil Bothwick If at first you don't succeed, you're about normal. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

You don't need to man a project, only start one if you're willing. I would need you to release your code under some Open Source License. It would be most convenient if you did both at once, by starting a sourceforge project with your code and chosen license. Then authorize at least one alternate project manager, and you never need do anything about it again. Normal ettiquette would allow you as originator "considerable" (understatement) influence over any decisions made in the project, but you can also just ignore them. BTW, I like your program but its package search sure seems slow. That would probably be the first thing I'd try to improve.

I, for one, would be interested in seeing a copy of your script :-> If you mean mine, it's so short (so far) that I put it in the original message. If you mean Jerry McBride's, I'd like to see it too. Hey, Jerry, wanna make a project team? I woulda done Python if I had thought it was gonna get big. It now seems like that would be a good idea.
