Patrick If you wish to be a part of getting pkgcore's eapi 5 fully working your welcome to start helping out. I can set you up with access in the main google code repo. Radhermit has been working mostly out of his github account, updating the main repo. I would very much love to get pkgcore fully functional in eapi 5. It's speed runs circles around portage and paludis. I have not been able to help radhermit out as yet, I have been trying to get some other project cleaned up before delving deeper into pkgcore code. I have just recently taken over lead of portage (an interim position) due to Zac stepping down and away. So I have that added to my todo list at the moment too. -- Brian Dolbec <dol...@gentoo.org>
