After googling for quite some time, I did find the answers: no, there is |
15 |
nothing relevant on the portage roadmap document [1], but the missing |
16 |
portage features have been discussed on the dev list. |
17 |
|
18 |
There's at least one bugzilla entry [2] that refers to the relevant |
19 |
portage features apparently under development. |
20 |
|
21 |
The relevant comments in that bug apparently come from the discussion of |
22 |
Michael Haubenwallner's draft GLEP [3], which is designed to provide for |
23 |
prefixed package installs on non-Gentoo O/S's. The thread is worth a read, |
24 |
if you can tolerate the obligatory naysaying and bickering. It is |
25 |
inconclusive, but represents real progress. |
26 |
|
27 |
As for pathspec, there is nothing to be found. Even drobbins original, |
28 |
rather inspired, description is long gone [4]. By contrast, Michael |
29 |
Haubenwallner's proposal for prefixed installs appears to be alive and |
30 |
kicking. |
31 |
|
32 |
Finally, there is this post [5] from Feburary, indicating that the problem |
33 |
is to be tackled by the Gentoo/OS X devs this year. |
