7 Dear Herb,

9 I would like to make sure that you knew about the disorganized and outdated
10 attempt named app-portage/g-npm:
11 URL: https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/38txil/how_do_you_guys_manage_languagespecific_package/
12 Title: "How do you guys manage language-specific package managers
13 (npm, gem, pip, etc)? : Gentoo"
14
15 I found out about that while trying to make an ebuild for
16 www-apps/etherpad-lite-1.2.91, see https://bugs.gentoo.org/328897 for
17 that.

19 You might also want to know about that attempt:
20 https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1064550-start-0.html
21 titled "Portage and NodeJS and similarity with Python, Perl, etc."
22
23 Perl monks using gentoo might want to know about app-portage/g-cpan, see first
24 URL above.
25
26 I just found out that app-portage/g-octave app-portage/g-sorcery existed.
27
28 I did not find anything wannabe "g-pip" for python.
