| STATUS |   |
portage-utils is a small set of utilities for working with Portage, Gentoo ebuilds, Gentoo ebuild overlays, installed packages (vdb), and similar sources of information. The focus is on size and speed, so everything is in C.
Building
Run configure followed by make. If you're using git-sources, run
configure with --disable-maintainer-mode or run autoreconf to get
various timestamps correct.
Helping out
There's a large TODO list with various ideas for improvements. File a bug on Gentoo's Bugzilla, or use Github's issues and pull requests.
There's also a HACKING doc to help you get started.
