You are both interpreting the word 'sub-project' in a way I didn't mean
it. I don't know the right word in english, and perhaps 'track' comes
close. But since it appears that you misunderstood my actual message,
I'll try again:

I would just like Kito to take an active role in the process he's in.
This means that I'd like to see him coordinating, managing and
conducting, as I obviously lack the required knowledge to do so.

Don't nail me on the 'sub-project' thing. Forget about it.

Let me know when there is a tarball, I'd like to give it a go. Will
there be a wiki page to go with it?

Kito-

Just pinging again. Can you provide a status update? Is there a
tarball/patch for prefix available somewhere?

thanks

matt

Apologies once again for the lack of communication....we have been
getting work done though =)

Portage with the autoconf/prefix modifications is in its own svn
branch now, as well as the prefix aware ebuild tree. Developers can
find them at:

svn+ssh://{USERNAME}@svn.gentoo.org/var/svnroot/portage/main/
branches/prefix
svn+ssh://{USERNAME}@svn.gentoo.org/var/svnroot/gentoo-alt/trunk/
prefix-overlay

anon svn access for portage is at:

svn co svn://twobit.net/portage

Sadly, whats in svn is not working at the moment, the recent cache
rewrite caused some problems, so if you want something that works
(sorta) right now, grab the snapshot below.
Currently there is no anon access to the ebuild repo, but we should
have daily snapshots available on the mirrors soon, but here are
current snapshots:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~kito/distfiles/portage-2.0.53.03.tar.gz
http://dev.gentoo.org/~kito/distfiles/prefix-overlay-05122005.tar.gz

to install portage, just run:

./configure --prefix=${PREFIX}/usr --with-offset-prefix=${PREFIX} &&
make && make install

replacing ${PREFIX} with whatever path you want...

I've only taken care of the Darwin/OS X side of things, so for ELF
systems you'll still need ebuilds for gcc and binutils, a make.conf,
and a valid profile. How you bootstrap is up to you, you can either
create symlinks to your host systems toolchain, manually compile
them, or use haubis toolsbox.

There are tons and tons of bugs and missing functionality, but its a
start =)

Still hope to get a small project page/wiki going at some point when
time permits, any help is appreciated.
