Chrysalis is a GTK-based frontend for portage (Gentoo / Funtoo package manager) based upon porthole.

Chrysalis tries to bring improvements to porhole. Since it is being built under a Funtoo base this package will be dependant on Funtoo libs which are known to be stable and reliable in most desktop systems.

Chrysalis follows the original Porthole license which can be found in the LICENSE file (GPL-2).

If you find any bugs in here please report it in the issues tab and not directly to porthole

Porthole is a GTK-based frontend for Portage (the Gentoo package management system, http://www.gentoo.org/). It features a hierarchial view of packages and supports fast searches and dependency calculations. Porthole also supports basic emerge features (emerge, unmerge, sync, upgrade world).

Porthole is released under the GPL, see COPYING.

Porthole is partially based on an earlier program, called gportage (http://www.stacken.kth.se/~foo/gentoo/), which has been discontinued in favour of Porthole.

We absolutely love bug reports! Please use the bugtracker at SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/porthole/ Also Please report the version of porthole you experienced the bug in

The easiest and recommended way of installing Porthole is by using the ebuild that is available from the webpage or portage tree. We assume you know how to put ebuilds in the portage overlay. If not, please consult the documentation and forums on the Gentoo web site (http://www.gentoo.org), or follow the instructions on the Gentoo Wiki at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds.

If you don't want to use the ebuild, you can download the tarball (porthole-0.5.0.tar.bz2) and install it yourself.

Porthole requires:

=python-2.3 =PyGTK-2.4 =libglade-2.5.0 and, of course, Portage

to install:

tar xvjf porthole-0.6.0.tar.bz2 cd porthole-0.6.0 python setup.py install
