It's been on my todo list, but I haven't gotten around to it yet due to other portage work that's kept me extremely busy. I hope to get GLEP 42 implemented soon though. On the bright side, portage-2.1.2 [1] has made recent progress on quite a few important and long standing bugs. Here are descriptions of some of the recent changes: * Profiles support multiple inheritance. * CONFIG_PROTECT and CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK both support files (not just directories). * Collision protection handles symlinks properly. * Dependencies can be satisfied by installed packages that do not have matching ebuilds in the portage tree or overlay. * Emerge automatically ignores blockers that are made irrelevant by an upgrade. * Emerge builds a complete dependency graph in order to ensure correct merge order and detection of circular dependencies. * The world and system sets allow automatic update of all installed slots. * DEPEND atoms support SLOT dependencies of the form ${CATEGORY}/${PN}:${SLOT}.
