Portage on LFS?
by PepperLegs from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4S9T7)
Hey again folks! I have another question for you, has anyone here installed Portage on their LFS system?
I currently have a temporary system I can chroot into, and I decided to try and install Portage. I do realize that it will, sooner or later, turn my LFS into Gentoo, but I'd like to do it anyway. On Gentoo, running setup.py of Portage should be more than enough to set it up (not counting the configuring part).
That's what I did on my LFS, but it doesn't really want to work. There are circular dependencies everywhere, and even if I use the --nodeps option, Emerging gets stuck at configuring the downloaded package (if I even get to that point).
I'm more used to the Pacman of Arch Linux, but I think it would be cool to mess around with another package manager. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance! :)
