Talk:Portage

Policy
Let's formulate some kind of policy for this page. I propose the following:

This page should be a portal style page, giving a short introduction to proper. It should then give links branching off into other parts of the wiki, such as overlay, eix, useful portage tools, configuration stuff, and so on, with maybe a short explanation. Then links to the Handbook and other relevant documentation.

Please suggest any other possible improvements. — yngwin (wiki admin) (talk) 08:27, 17 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I am actually going to fill in a lot of information regarding Portage itself and the commands that come as a part of the Portage. I've also been working on instructions to (re)-install Portage in the event that it is corrupted or removed. I visited (via editing) most of the wiki pages and have not found instructions for (re)-installation. Hopefully I'm not shooting anyone in the foot; I truly do think this article needs to be buffed quite a bit to be up-to-par for users who are new to Gentoo. :) --Maffblaster (talk) 23:54, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
