I'm not very good with Python, but I'm interested in helping to design a better dependency checker. Could you give me a summary of the way the checker currently works or point me to a document that describes it? Or should I just learn Python?
Your best bet is to wade through the code, of course. Fortunately, python is fairly readable. You can get an idea of how portage is structured from my gentoo page at http://emu.gentoo.org/~g2boojum/.
What I'll probably end up trying to do is implementing the current dependency checker in Perl and then going from there.
