Portage support is, I'm told, coming in a month or so, and other package managers have supported glep42 for a while now. The format is well specified by the GLEP, so compatibility shouldn't be an issue. The one thing I can see needing to be decided first is an open question in the glep: do we want to put the news items straight into gentoo-x86, or a seperate repository that will be merged into the tree during the cvs->rsync process? -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
