There currently is no real API to portage in any language. The best way to |
11 |
get information out of portage is using the new 'portageq' command line tool, |
12 |
which was designed for just that. portageq will also work on the upcoming |
13 |
portage 2.1, very few of the other interfaces will. If there's things you |
14 |
need to know from portage that portageq doesn't provide, let me know. |
