At last, the long loved interface to gentoo packages is back. Thanks a lot – I missed it so hard

Wow, that’s like finding an old friend

I’ve got one question, it’s a faithful reproduction so it’s not a bug, but am I the only person who has a real problem reading the category list when it’s ordered horizontally like that? My eyes just want to scan down the columns like in a book index.

The current live packages.gentoo.org has this ordering as well, I know it’s easier to do it that way technically.

Awesome! And another yay from me for the comeback of the tooltips! Simply gotta love it! I wonder if you could do the same for the bugzilla links, show the “Summary” in a little tooltip. Also links to sources.g.o would be great but I’m sure you’re already working on that anyways. Great!

@laen,

All that stuff, aside from deps, is on GPNL

I keep missing the stuff i see on gentoo-portage.com, which are the use flags for a package, use flag descriptions, deps, and reverse deps. Those things, how silly it may be, keep me ignoring packages.gentoo.org. I’d loooooove to see those on the main packages.gentoo.org in the future.
