Kentoo
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Kentoo is a KDE Control Center module providing a frontend to Gentoo's portage system. It currently supports the following features:
* Syncing
* Emerging system or world
* emerging of selected packages
* Injecting and masking of packages via context menu
* Condensed and colorized emerge output to easily see the important messages
There is now an ebuild available:

that would give us a centralized place to easily see all packages installed.
I suggest you break it down into categories (or folders or whatever) which lists system, system dependencies, world and world dependencies.
that way, you can more easily find what you're looking for (if uninstalling for example, the application is most assuredly in world without dependencies)

drag and drop install/inject.
delete to uninstall.
browsing by installed/updates/uninstalled and possibly by various packages.
any thoughts?

But i don't only want to update the system, i want to install or add new files to my system.
Can you implement that in the tool?
That would be nice!!

i've installed the ebuild and also from source, but there is no entry in my kcontrol-Center.
kcm_kentoo.la and kcm_kentoo.so are in the correct directory i think. In /usr/kde/3.2/lib/kde3 but it doesn't work. Any Idea?

Does Kentoo not respect the mask-flag (i'm using ~x86)?
When masking a package in kentoo using the kentoo menu, where does it record it. It can not use /etc/portage/package.unmask because Kentoo is running as a user.
Should it not ask for a root-password when I press sync?
Or is Kentoo designed always to run as a user? Why not ask for a root-password first?
Cheers,
J
P.S. Keep up the great work you do!

That only keeps one question left. Please grey-out Kentoo when a user has not yet pressed the 'systemadministrator mode' button. Or else this will confuse users.
Thank you,

there was an app called kportage back in the kde 3.1.x days. Maybe you can talk to the devs and/or look at there code. I believe the problem was back then, that portage changed way to fast to keep up the development.
Greetings,
Martin

Here is the link, too bad it's not being developed anymore.

In the course of things we decided that it would actually be easier and faster to build it in Kommander once we had passed the KDE 3.3 feature freeze. This would also make a good showcase. So we've been working with several parts doing the design, reviewing Kportage and new portage tools.
We are still planning to release a revival of this application built in Kommander, and a key advantage is that Kommander applications are scriptable so various users can actually get involved in the development.
Of course it's cool to see Kentoo too. We welcome all projects and any developers wishing to collaborate. Our design will be similar to KPortage but will take into account development since then and will have the same kind of attention to detail that Quanta and Kommander have... of course you can use Kentoo right now. ;-)

It makes an index of all ebuilds allowing a very fast search. In addition 'esync' does 'emerge sync', updates the db and displays you everythink what has changed since your last sync. very handy!

I wish only that it could show also Installed packages, Updates and New.
Perhaps Installed and Updates can be in one tab, parallel to one another to be easier to navigate.
Also, perhaps sorting the list by 'type' would be nice.
Like KPackage (in Beta1/2 does), by sys-apps, sys-devel, etc. things like what would make visual managment A LOT easier.
One more critical thing in my opinion is the ability to un/merge specific apps.
like in portage: 'emerge unmerge arts', instead it should do: 'emerge nmerge arts-' to be more accurate, incase I have "by mistake/choice" more then one version installed of the same package.
Cant wait! thanks!
