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
