I did, and I like it. I even have a few packages patching and building (borrowing ideas from your versions of course). But I didn;t get to the point where I packaged them into .lrp's. GAR OTOH looks more mature and flexible to me. It can already compile programs, build packages, create bootdisks and create an iso image. BTW, your CVS devel/ddouthitt tree has been empty for the last days. Is that on purpose? I went there to get a fresh copy of your build system, and noticed this. > I've got something built > similar to the FreeBSD Ports Tree.

I have done this a few times (- too many): scripts/bootstrap.sh && emerge world && emerge gnome kde evolution Building leaf from source will be sooooo fast :-) Ewald Wasscher ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: AMD - Your access to the experts on Hammer Technology!
