This version includes a new program called "emerge" that can be used to merge packages and their dependencies: # emerge foo-1.0.ebuild or # emerge --pretend foo-1.0.ebuild ...to see a list of what would be merged (excellent for testing dependencies) To use this new version, you'll need to create the following symlink: # cd /etc # ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default make.profile Let me know what you think -- and remember, this is a test version, so it's not guaranteed to be perfect (but works for me).
