I meant that when emerge calls out to the statements, functions in
portage.py settings["PORTDIR"] is not returning a prefixed value....

Sorry, but can you explain what you mean by "everything else" and "the
defaults" above?  I want to make sure I'm following you.

Well, PREFIX needs to be set somewhere...

I'm not using macos (I'm using linux).  So if I understand you
correctly I don't need to change anything from the default linux
profile other than adding FEATURES="-collision-protect".  Cool.  My
question remains, where do I get this profile from?  (In svn)

Sorry if my questions are tedious, I'm still not comfortable with
where things are located in gentoo's svn.  So I'm trying to be very
specific here.  Hopefully this will serve others as well.

When I get something that is working, I'll create a wiki article.

Any idea when anonymous SVN will be working?

thanks for your help
