I'm in the process of porting (once again) a new Anaconda snapshot to
Sabayon (thus, to Gentoo-land). I spent several hours creating ebuilds
(basic, not fully integrated yet) for the following pkgs:

app-admin/authconfig
app-admin/firstboot
app-admin/system-config-date
app-admin/system-config-date
app-admin/system-config-keyboard
app-admin/system-config-users
app-cdr/isomd5sum
dev-python/pyblock
dev-python/python-cryptsetup
dev-python/python-meh
dev-python/python-nss
dev-python/python-report
dev-util/pykickstart
net-misc/dcbd
net-misc/fcoe-utils
sys-apps/hbaapi
sys-block/open-iscsi (see extra patches)
sys-libs/libuser

They are available in the "sabayon" overlay. Is there anybody
interested in helping me out for the integration and, perhaps,
merge-into-Portage part?
For the record, nowadays the Anaconda architecture is very clean and
allows non-rpm distros to build custom installation profiles and
backends quite easily. I'm really really impressed by the amazing work
RedHat guys did during last years.

That sounds interesting. I was planning to add public apis for the
packagekit portage backend to use soon, and I guess those apis
should also be useful for an anaconda portage backend.

(just checking, this is the nsswitch.conf changer right?), if so, then
add to below.

I'm interested in these, and can review/merge.

I didn't know a packagekit portage backend was being prepared :-O

Thanks a lot to all the people involved =)
