Re: [gentoo-user] portage in SQL

[Andrew Gaffney]

I emailed the developer asking him about this. Well, I asked him why 
they didn't just use portage and hack the backend plugin code into 
portage. He said that portage was such a hack job that it would just be 
easier to do a complete rewrite. I believe he also talked to some of the 
Gentoo portage developers to see if there was any interest in 
incorporating this into portage. He said they weren't.

I was reading the site, any ideas when this can be a option in the real portage?? this would be a great feature to have. 

It doesn't say on the site if it will every get incorporated in.

Ah, I wasn't aware of this.  It's probably a bit more 
sophisticated than

my simple attempt.  It was a good exercise anyway.  :)
They have basically rewritten portage from the ground up. It's not 
exactly as feature rich as the real portage, but most of the 
basic stuff 
is there. They have a backend plugin system, so you can use 
just about 
any database that you want.
