Re: [gentoo-portage-dev] Questions about CVS locations and GID...

[m h <sesquile@gmail.com>]

Sorry, on further reading of my post, my questions weren't clear.  My
first question is where is the current head of portage in CVS?  (I'd
like to compare with what I have, and I'm not sure if I'm looking in
the right place).

WRT implementing Prefix.  I'm looking at Michael's code, because I
want to see what he has done.  (Which seems to be inline with what I
need, may or may not align with the gentoo community at large, since
nothing has been decided on that front).

Though, I noticed there was mention of Prefixed installs in yesterdays
GWN (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/).  If anyone can
elaborate on the efforts going on in that arena, I'm all ears.
