12 Yes, those links should be current. I'll will be doing an updated
13 portage tarball sometime this weekend.

17 Yeah, I started running it on my ppc/linux machine. The strict path
18 handling from before is now optional, so bootstrapping should be a
19 lot easier if you want to use the host systems toolchain. Still
20 haven't committed proper profiles for anything but os x yet
21 though....SOON! The prefix tree should operate standalone now as
22 well, so I now recommend setting it as your PORTDIR and not an overlay.

27 I've been a little busy with workwork, so I haven't spent too much
28 time on it lately, but I did train a new dev who has been helping
29 out. Mostly been squashing minor bugs and working on tools to aid
30 development(repoman svn support, exg has started a bootstrap script)
31 as opposed to adding a ton of additional ebuilds.
