Gentoo for Mac OS X is installed and up-to-date! Pretty straightforward. I’ve got my build settings and USE flags tweaked… now I just need some packages! Not surprisingly, most of the ebuilds are masked. Though, there is an RSS feed for stable packages. Very helpful.

I noticed a thread on the Gentoo forums comparing and contrasting portage and fink. A good point was brought up about the advantages of fink’s separate directory structure. I certainly agree that it is preferrable (though collision protection is great).

It’s encouraging to see that gentoo may be pursuing the separate directory structure path, too.
