The day before yesterday I tried to put portage on Slackware, and all I did |
| 11 |
was just copying portage tree, portage bin & lib (symlinks as well), |
| 12 |
/var/cache/edb and /etc/make* stuff(accordingly /etc/env.d), but it seems |
| 13 |
working now. You can merge, unmerge and upgrade you system with portage on |
| 14 |
Slackware. |

Just FYI, there is a project from NetBSD pkgsrc(although the number of |

pkgsrc is limited compared to FreeBSD ports): |

Now I'm exploring portage tree and playing with ebuild files. Thank you for |
| 33 |
all the developers of Gentoo Linux. |
