Isn't going to work.

I'll carry on pulling up further examples until you realise that it's not just a minor issue, it's a huge problem that needs a big change to the GLEP. | Remember that gleps go through several rounds of | discussion, I'd like to see this round keep moving rather then get | stuck in the mud.

Hrm. Being able to say "I need xyz installed globally, and abc installed either globally or at home level" would work if and only if there was a way of finding out where abc and xyz had been installed. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
