Yah, although differs in certain respects; 1) affix doesn't exist 2) bound to a temp EAPI to use for masking non prefix capable ebuilds 3) Strict paths. *really* strict. 4) by hand reimplementation of the python side of the modifications 5) stable based. the patch referenced is 2.1; I (mostly by hand I'm afraid) backported the relevant chunks, rewriting what was needed and simplifying it down a bit (affix removal fex). There is common code between them, but right now the prefix patch I've been splitting off of 2.0.51-rc4 is the simple cousin of haubi's work, round two basically, with a lot of patch monkeying via kito/myself to iron the beast out. > Just wondering because I've been able to use this to get portage > installed on a FC4 system (I know it's not OSX).

Literally, the prefix stable patch is chunks of my 2.1 work and haubi's work torn out and integrated into 2.0 for prototype demonstration. Exempting the AFFIX difference, should work in a similar fashion across systems, although haubi's stage0 work is a seperate thing. ~harring
