* Now talking on #gentoo-portage
* Topic for #gentoo-portage is: 2.0.53_rc3 released; please test || 
emerge development only; ebuild dev questions go to #gentoo-dev-help and 
usage questions go to #gentoo || anonsvn access: svn co 
svn://twobit.net/portage/, rewrite is at main/branches/savior, 2.1 is at 
main/trunk, 2.0 is at main/branches/2.0 and sandbox is at path-sandbox/trunk

IRC is your friend here ;)  In this case you probably want the rewrite, 
which is from what I recall, a complete rewrite...so nothing of Haubi's 
is in it.  Brian will definately know more there than myself, I haven't 
touched it in quite some time, and I doubt RL will let me for a bit :P
