[gentoo-alt] Re: RAP issue on stage3

Dear Thierry,
I think it won't hurt to post it to gentoo-alt mailing list.

Wow, is there a RPM based Prefix? Cool! Any pointers for that?

oh, you mean this one

Sorry, it had been outdated until I updated 5 minutes ago.

What kind of issues have you met with, exactly?

this should not happen. as gdbm and berkdb are in
profiles/bootstrap/use.mask

Could you please paste the output of 'emerge -pv perl' and 'emerge
--info'?

For completeness, there is another bootstrap script at 

https://github.com/redlizard/prefix-libc/blob/master/scripts/bootstrap-prefix.sh

But be aware either manually bootstrap or any script will end up with
exactly the same system. Right now you are use whatever works.
