Exactly that, and according to glep 1 a glep should address just *one* |
| 18 |
problem at once... |

IMO a secondary package manager just has to manage the files/packages |
| 21 |
installed into the same prefix the pkgm is installed to, nothing else. |
| 22 |
If you want to use a pkgm for ~, then set up a pkgm with prefix=~, |
| 23 |
and use an ebuild-tree or profile containing packages dedicated to |
| 24 |
be installed into ~. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
And once portage is able to act as a secondary pkgm, this does not imply |
| 27 |
that the whole ebuild-tree makes sence to install with a 2nd pkg mgr, |
| 28 |
fex baselayout, which is already virtualized for baselayout-lite |
| 29 |
(eh, what is Linux VServer ?). |
