Patrick If you wish to be a part of getting pkgcore's eapi 5 fully
working your welcome to start helping out. I can set you up with access
in the main google code repo. Radhermit has been working mostly out of
his github account, updating the main repo.
I would very much love to get pkgcore fully functional in eapi 5.
It's speed runs circles around portage and paludis.
I have not been able to help radhermit out as yet, I have been trying to
get some other project cleaned up before delving deeper into pkgcore
code. I have just recently taken over lead of portage (an interim
position) due to Zac stepping down and away. So I have that added to my
todo list at the moment too.
