Hey Jose, |

as I'm new to cfengine, I've never used that module, nore did I ever try |
| 21 |
to install software using cfengine->portage ... but! I just had a look |
| 22 |
at the cfportage module and it's README(1). You can use the module to |
| 23 |
check whether an ebuild is installed or not. According to this |
| 24 |
information you can start a shellcommands: action that startes emerge |
| 25 |
<ebuild>. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Btw. we created a wiki(2) for cfengine. Maybe you can just start an |
| 28 |
article about this. |
