I've hacked on it a bit, but nothing major and never finished the job. I think I was seeking to add support for multiple compiler/library versions/setups without the need to have multiple DSSS installations and file trees. I agree about the great potential as well. I'd actually like to see it borrow a bunch of good ideas from Gentoo's portage, since portage has been a very solid package manager for me. Of course, there is some stuff portage does though that is out of DSSS's scope, and some stuff that DSSS does that is out of portage's scope . In particular, concepts like use flags and different levels of release stability would be nice things to have.
