If your asking about alternative package managers, I am aware of 2 paludis - requires heavy modification to environment pkgcore - does not support EAPI 6, only experimental EAPI 5 pkgcore existed before PMS, and seems like more development before PMS https://github.com/pkgcore/pkgcore/graphs/contributors IMHO PMS was mostly about paludis and not Gentoo or portage. I recall how it came about and the people behind the effort. ~2007-02-09 http://marc.info/?l=gentoo-dev&w=2&r=86&s=pms&q=b https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Paludis https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Pkgcore -- William L.
