Dear Herb, I would like to make sure that you knew about the disorganized and outdated attempt named app-portage/g-npm: URL: https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/38txil/how_do_you_guys_manage_languagespecific_package/ Title: "How do you guys manage language-specific package managers (npm, gem, pip, etc)? : Gentoo" I found out about that while trying to make an ebuild for www-apps/etherpad-lite-1.2.91, see https://bugs.gentoo.org/328897 for that. You might also want to know about that attempt: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1064550-start-0.html titled "Portage and NodeJS and similarity with Python, Perl, etc." Perl monks using gentoo might want to know about app-portage/g-cpan, see first URL above. I just found out that app-portage/g-octave app-portage/g-sorcery existed. I did not find anything wannabe "g-pip" for python. -- xdej@#gentoo-prefix
