Thanks for pointing this out! Anybody know anything about their first
reference, also from 2014? As far as I can tell it hasn't been
published yet but I figured I'd ask here before I go bugging the
authors.
Interesting that they picked Gentoo. It might just be from
familiarity, but a reason to use Gentoo is that the dependency info
for a package is separated from the actual distfiles/etc. Many other
package formats combine these, though perhaps this data is cached
somewhere in a format that could be used historically. If they had
multiple GB of ebuild files I'd hate to think about what that would
look like as .debs.
