Exactly that, and according to glep 1 a glep should address just *one* problem at once... IMO a secondary package manager just has to manage the files/packages installed into the same prefix the pkgm is installed to, nothing else. If you want to use a pkgm for ~, then set up a pkgm with prefix=~, and use an ebuild-tree or profile containing packages dedicated to be installed into ~. And once portage is able to act as a secondary pkgm, this does not imply that the whole ebuild-tree makes sence to install with a 2nd pkg mgr, fex baselayout, which is already virtualized for baselayout-lite (eh, what is Linux VServer ?). ~haubi -- Michael Haubenwallner SALOMON Automation GmbH Forschung & Entwicklung A-8114 Friesach bei Graz mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.salomon.at No HTML/MIME please, see http://expita.com/nomime.html -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
