[gentoo-portage-dev] Portage on AIX

[Perry Smith]

Hi,

I don't use Gentoo but I bumped into Portage on a recent quest.  Long story short, I'd like to try and port it to AIX.  I'm writing this list to see if you think that is possible or not.

I have lots of AIX experience and lots of experience getting open source pages to compile and run on AIX.  What I need is exactly what Portage appears to offer -- a way to easily track and understand compile time and run time dependancies.

If you think it is possible, I'd love to hear any advice you might have on what docs to read and maybe what needs to be done first, etc.

Thank you for your time,
Perry
