Well, after a lot of hacking GPytage 0.3.0 RC1 is finally ready to be released. This version underwent nearly a complete rewrite to make coding it much easier and of course improve the end users experience of editing Portage’s config files. Notable features of this release include:

• Supports recursive directory support now, where the old release was limited to one depth of a package.foo directory
• Improved creation, deletion, and renaming of files. You can now rightclick in the leftpanel on the desired file and get these options as well
• Copy and Paste support now implemented
• When editing an entry you can now hit tab to save the change and move to the next editable field.
• When adding a new file, reverting, deleting, or a similar operation is executed the folder you were currently in is now reselected after GPytage reloads its database

GPytage should be hitting the Portage tree in the next few hours. A simple

should net you package for testing. It will be keyworded ~arch, so stable users will need to add an entry to package.keywords to install it.

While this is a release candidate, there should not be any bugs floating around. If you find any bugs or want to suggest an improvement don’t hesitate to either post it here or at https://gna.org/projects/gpytage/
