Pretty much my feeling, but if it were needed/wanted, it would be an |
| 19 |
alt sub-project as it reaches further than just os x. |

Excellent. I'm finishing up the last few system packages right now |
| 39 |
(cctools and gcc mainly), then I want to get the 2 major bugs fixed, |
| 40 |
collision-protect(many false positives) and binpkgs (getting key |
| 41 |
errors on pkgmerge). After that I'll bug brian to help me roll a new |
| 42 |
patch against current portage (rc7 at the time of writing), post an |
| 43 |
install pkg and stage1 for darwin/osx, and get the overlay in the svn |
| 44 |
module. Oh..and make a page on the wiki. |

No worries, theres lots to do on the bash/ebuild side as well. The |
| 49 |
more ebuilds we can get in the overlay the better. Also need help |
| 50 |
testing on other archs and in a traditional non-prefixed install to |
| 51 |
catch any regressions. |
