Alexandre,

I'm using cfengine with it. There is a module called "cfportage" (it's at
/var/cfengine/modules) that will define a class if you don't have a package
installed or if you have an older version. If the class defined I'll do a
shell command to install it.

I'm also using catalyst to automate the building, I also have a standard
Gentoo replicas on all my servers.

I just all my servers last week (new catalyst build), so I lost my cfengine
scripts. Otherwise I would post them here.

If you find a better way of doing it (like installing without a shell
script) please let me know.

Best,
Daniel
