Portage is also used by "Prefix", as I mentioned above, to run on any Linux system (e.g. for unprivileged use on HPC clusters where it is more flexible and up-to-date than the Linux distribution's package manager). Also on macOS and Solaris. And probably could be verified for use on other Unixes if there was sufficient interest. HP-UX, AIX, Interix, WinNT (!!!), FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD all used to be supported, even if dead for ~10 years due to interested stakeholders retiring. -- Eli Schwartz
