Portage Description
The Portage Development Project is a tool that allows for the installation and management of packages. It is constantly evolving. The developers strive to create a system that is as simple, backwards compatible, automated, as well as easy to use. Bugs can be tracked and fixed via the Gentoo bug tracker. Developer-developer correspondence is maintained by the gentoo–portage-dev mailinglist. The #gentooportage (webchat), IRC channel on Libera.Chat is another communication channel. Portage is a project that aims to integrate developer and user tools in a seamless way to support the growth and maintenance Gentoo packages. This means that we not only work on Portage, but also on the associated tools and on ensuring that our APIs can be used with other tools.
