As I said, gentoo prefix / lmona.de can do that in principle. In practice it often doesn't work though because the "gentoo prefix" == user-space package manager receives much less testing than the gentoo == system-level package manager. Or the wrong kind of testing; gentoo prefix surely works great on top of gentoo but coverage on other distros/OSX/... is bad in my experience. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
