8 Apologies once again for the lack of communication....we have been
9 getting work done though =)
10
11 Portage with the autoconf/prefix modifications is in its own svn
12 branch now, as well as the prefix aware ebuild tree. Developers can
13 find them at:
14
15 svn+ssh://{USERNAME}@svn.gentoo.org/var/svnroot/portage/main/
16 branches/prefix
17 svn+ssh://{USERNAME}@svn.gentoo.org/var/svnroot/gentoo-alt/trunk/
18 prefix-overlay
19
20 anon svn access for portage is at:
21
22 svn co svn://twobit.net/portage
23
24 Sadly, whats in svn is not working at the moment, the recent cache
25 rewrite caused some problems, so if you want something that works
26 (sorta) right now, grab the snapshot below.
27 Currently there is no anon access to the ebuild repo, but we should
28 have daily snapshots available on the mirrors soon, but here are
29 current snapshots:
30
31 http://dev.gentoo.org/~kito/distfiles/portage-2.0.53.03.tar.gz
32 http://dev.gentoo.org/~kito/distfiles/prefix-overlay-05122005.tar.gz
33
34 to install portage, just run:
35
36 ./configure --prefix=${PREFIX}/usr --with-offset-prefix=${PREFIX} &&
37 make && make install
38
39 replacing ${PREFIX} with whatever path you want...

41 I've only taken care of the Darwin/OS X side of things, so for ELF
42 systems you'll still need ebuilds for gcc and binutils, a make.conf,
43 and a valid profile. How you bootstrap is up to you, you can either
44 create symlinks to your host systems toolchain, manually compile
45 them, or use haubis toolsbox.
46
47 There are tons and tons of bugs and missing functionality, but its a
48 start =)
49
50 Still hope to get a small project page/wiki going at some point when
51 time permits, any help is appreciated.
