OK so in the /usr/local/portage dir I started this process. Its downloading |
| 7 |
at a blistering 20-30 KiB/s. I about to call the ISP, but in the the |
| 8 |
mean time here are a few more comments..... |

Wow! Right under my nose. I have this page bookmarked and up: |
| 13 |
|

http://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/ |
| 15 |
|

Browsing online to find the manpage (9999) seems to be evading me.... |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I was probably too quick on that resources as it gives lots |
| 19 |
of hits on portage. Perhaps I should have used several compounds |
| 20 |
in my query string for searching that tree? |

And this is embarrassing. I'd always looked online at eclasses. Again right |
| 32 |
under my nose in '/usr/portage/eclass'. It's a good thing 'old_farts' |
| 33 |
dont blush very easily......... |

Is there a preliminary doc on EAPI6? I know there is still some |
| 40 |
unfinished business therein, but, the sooner we can start reading |
| 41 |
the better. For me, it takes a while to get use to the changes, so |
| 42 |
I'm trying to read ahead a bit, particularly the part where my |
| 43 |
codes become part of my gentoo systems, with ease...... I'm all ears on that! |
