Prefixed Portage user overlay

It's done!
I've set up a svn overlay for prefixed portage and I've just
added  
the first 2 ebuilds, namely: bc and mono. Yes, that's right,
mono can  
now be installed via prefix-portage. There's just one thing,
how can  
i check in this line if we're on macos:
DEPEND="dev-dotnet/pe-format"
because we don't need/want this dependencie on macos.

Anyhow, this is the address where you can find more info
about the  
overlay:
http://prefixed-por
tage.no-ip.org

If you want write access to it, you can email me at:
frankgroeneveld  
[AT] chello [DOT] nl, with a username+password and some info
about  
your programming+gentoo skills and what kind of mac you have
(ppc, or  
intel for example).

Enjoy!
Frank

ohw, then it is
DEPEND="userland_GNU? ( dev-dotnet/pe-format )"
or
DEPEND="!userland_Darwin? ( dev-dotnet/pe-format
)"
based on what it exactly does.  Is it necessary on Solaris,
or only a
Linux thing?

I'll look at layman tonight, which seems to be the tool to
manage your
"overlays".  Count me in, I want an account ;)

Cool Portage already knows about the different userlands

I think we need to use the second rule you said, as it's a
linux only  
thing. (correct me if I'm wrong)

Then I'd go for either userland_GNU or elibc_glibc.  It's a
bit
confusing, I know.  I think I messed this up in the past as
well.

I added layman (plus patches) to the prefix tree to
facilitate in
overlays.  I think it's the easiest to just emerge layman if
you want to
use this overlay.

I haven't tried it out for real yet, but retrieving the
overlay works.
In short:

% emerge layman
% layman -L --verbose
(read the nice output and stuff)
% layman -a prefix-users
(might want to think of a better name in case other people
want to add
an overlay too)

then I think you need to add the layman conf to
etc/make.conf or
something, but I haven't gone that far yet.
