Might also want to check out paludis, a spiritual successor to portage, built from scratch (written in c++), designed with the focused goal of fixing portage's shortcomings: http://paludis.pioto.org/overview/features.html Somewhat related: http://exherbo.org/docs/features.html Sorry no direct experience with these yet - not promoting them, just providing links to info. (I've been using gentoo for a variety of purposes in a variety of roles/capacities and environments for many years now, and it's my linux of choice - the amount of fine-grained control and convenience I've gained via portage has far exceeded the occasional intermittent frustrations)
