Hello-
I'm investigating the similarities between portage and openpkg.
More specifically I was wondering if it is possible to take portage and
install in on top of an existing linux installation in its own sandbox
(similar to what openpkg does). I've done some googling and found
the documentation about the gentoo sandbox
(http://bugday.gentoo.org/sandbox.html), but this seems to be a tool
for checking that ebuilds behave correctly. I've read
through the developer documentation and didn't find anything
there. Google hasn't necessarily been very useful either....
So, is it possible to sandbox a portage installation on top of say a
debian or fedora install? If so, can anyone point me in the right
direction?
Do any of the devs out here have experience with openpkg?
thanks
matt
