Standalone doesn't fit in with the way things can be used. For any non-trivial case there will be inter-repository dependencies.

The holdup for GLEP 42 is that you're trying to demand that it supports some arbitrary future extension to Portage without specifying how that extension will work. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (I can kill you with my brain) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
