Issue #13680 has been updated by Ken Barber.

Come to think of it this doesn't solve our dependency problem at all and puts 
us in the same place as the operatingsystem confine does.

Feature #13680: Distinguish "Funtoo" from "Gentoo" Linux

[Funtoo Linux](http://www.funtoo.org/) is a Fork of Gentoo Linux from the 
former creator of Gentoo Linux, Daniel Robbins.
The two derivates behave mostly the same, but they are differing more and more 
over time. So the package manager portage (and it's frontend emerge) for 
example are behaving a little different already. Packages are named different, 
versions differ, and so on.
It would be great if one could differ between Funtoo and Gentoo in his 
manifests to install different package versions on Funtoo/Gentoo or package 
versions or deliver different configurations.

You can differ between Funtoo and Gentoo Linux from the content of the file 
/etc/gentoo-release

Funtoo:
jb2 ~ # cat /etc/gentoo-release
Funtoo Linux - baselayout 2.1.8

Gentoo:
gentoo-ds ~ # cat /etc/gentoo-release
Gentoo Base System release 2.1

Best regards,
Marc
