OK.

I agree, there is much resistence and calcification deep in the ranks
of gentoo.

As a young distro, maybe that's all the man_hours they have for
outside packages right now?

Is this (above) aimed at Exherbo or Arch?

It has been around for a while.



OK so keep in mind if you are successful at what you set up (your overlay
++) with gentoo, I'd be interested to know the details and maybe I'll move
my codes to a similar structure; mostly java and science/math codes....

Drop me private email, or keep me informed whatever your chosen information
dispersement is (a blog? etc)  as your code development mechanisms evolve.


sincerely,
James
