Hello all, |

I couldn't find archive of this list, and so don't know if this has |
| 4 |
been raised or not. |

What i want to propose is a modification to portage, such that it |
| 7 |
can be run by a non-root user. There are plenty of users ( in |
| 8 |
corporate and educational e.g. ) who don't control the system |
| 9 |
they run. Imagine not possible to upgrade the work machine from RH 7.2 !! |

The idea is to have a 'almost-gentoo' residing in ~/gentoo. It's |
| 13 |
'almost', since all the sys-TOOLS won't be usable ( kernel, deamons |
| 14 |
etc. ). Also the compilers etc. can be picked from host, or from |
| 15 |
gentoo--subsystem. |

Well, I got the portage-2.0.51_pre17 tarkit, installed Python2.3, |
| 19 |
and tried. By the end of day, I'm able to emerge patch and |
| 20 |
ncurses. I'm stuck in libtool problem, which I'll see tomorrow. |

>From this thread, I want to know if this team believes a user-mode |
| 24 |
portage is helpful to gentoo ? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Also, where is the anon repository for potrage ? the projects page |
| 27 |
mentions viewcvs, but not the anon. |
