PacVis Notes
PacVis is a tool from Arch that shows a tree of packages. I've been playing around hooking it to the Portage tree. Looks neat, it shows all of the links between my ~1000 installed packages.

Changes made so far from PacVis
 * Hooked the installed tree from Poratage
 * Fixed a loop in the top down sort
 * Add search by partial package name

ToDos
 * Make ebuild
 * Show update previews (e.g. emerge -p @world)
 * Show full Portage tree (will be too crowded?)
 * Distinguish BDEPEND, DEPEND, etc
 * connect different versions of atoms of the same package
 * remove some Arch concepts (provides, optional deps)
