So we could use a text file and put in the path instead equally well.
I got it now.
But then we can use tags and we'll get the same result.
Maybe we could just use
meta = {
gentoo_location = " app-admin/http";
tags = [ "http" "daemons" ];
[..]
}
Then we could even automatically generate those symlinks or files or
whatsoever ?
Why do i prefer this? Less work to mantain.
