There's no purpose. If you want to use Portage, you might as well use Gentoo. |
13 |
I see no reason why it shouldn't work, though. |

Inject stuff. I don't see RPM installing DEB, tgz, or ebuilds. |

You're saying Portage isn't Slackware compatible because you define Slackware |
35 |
to be non-Portage. |

Nope... In fact, I can change my USE and it will still output the same stuff |
48 |
since it doesn't recompile anything. A bug, but it doesn't annoy me enough. |

Shall we include editors for all the other possible configuration files |
58 |
Portage packages install too? |

It'll work on systems w/o any changes, but that doesn't mean it works well. |
79 |
There are numerous flaws in the design of Portage that cannot simply be |
80 |
"fixed." |

Continues from where it left off for me. Possibly related to keeptemp or |
94 |
keepwork. |
