On the experience I gained from working on the php eclass and ufed, Portage is a very good distribution mechanism, even if it is only for initial testing. Just keep it hardmasked while testing with a few big warnings. This also enables us to get a very wide test base including outside users if we so desire. The concept of an initial testing run is definetly worthwhile, but also a strong warning that what you intend as a testing round has a hard habit of sticking around a lot longer than expected no matter what form it is in. > Btw, talked to Woodchip on IRC tonight, and he seemed happy enough > with us moving the default -vhosts DocRoot from /home/httpd.
