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}.
