emerge development only; ebuild dev questions go to #gentoo-dev-help and |

usage questions go to #gentoo || anonsvn access: svn co |

svn://twobit.net/portage/, rewrite is at main/branches/savior, 2.1 is at |
| 76 |

IRC is your friend here ;) In this case you probably want the rewrite, |
| 79 |
which is from what I recall, a complete rewrite...so nothing of Haubi's |
| 80 |
is in it. Brian will definately know more there than myself, I haven't |
| 81 |
touched it in quite some time, and I doubt RL will let me for a bit :P |
