Oh I don't know. Imagine how cool it would be for starting a new port. 1) Install PM 2) Wang on a portage tree 3) emerge ready to go Obviously it's not quite that simple as portage requires python and pkgcore require python, paludis requires tr1-whatever libs - but that's the restriction of the PM used. Maybe one day Gentoo will have a PM that doesn't require any of that and is just written in C and sh, using POSIX libc where it can. But enough pipe dreaming :) Thanks Roy -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
