Thanks for the response, I guess I'll post to the osx mailing list, but |
| 2 |
really my issue isn't about osx per se, but taking the osx portage port and |
| 3 |
making it run on any posix system (solaris, osx, flavors of linux etc) in a |
| 4 |
sandboxed environment. |

The osx port runs with the same ebuilds as the main portage tree right? |

The basic idea is you bootstrap an environment on an existing system, and |
| 26 |
then build rpm's on top of that. It would be nice to take advantage of |
| 27 |
Gentoo's larger component tree (openpkg has ~400 items) as well as the |
| 28 |
larger gentoo community. |
