ept-get for gentoo
:)
I really love gentoo. It's really cool to have a
meta distribution, to have whole system built as you want.
Sure, there are still things to do. For instance, I
can't do apt-get remove in gentoo :)
So, I wrote ept-get. Some people finds it useful, so
now I am publishing it.
Previously genorphan depended on epm and equery. It was
slow, because epm and equery
written in an interpreted language. Now, I rewrote needed
epm and equery functionality,
introducing a new, fast tool for gentoo linux epkg
And if so, may be reasonable to rewrite emerge cause it's
too slow comparable to apt.
Because it is written in an interpreted language.
Dependencies
Currently ept-get depend on epkg
and emerge.

Check, may be you already can use emerge to do it :)
Usage
ept-get update (it just calls "emerge --sync" yet)
ept-get install <packagename> (it is just a wrapper
too yet)
ept-get remove <packagename>
ept-get was created especially for this!
ept-get -h (or --help) shows usage
FAQ
Q: Why it is written in pascal?
A: Because I like to write code, which be compiled in
native code.
When I have to choose, write in
pascal or C I prefer pascal.
We have a high quality free pascal
compiler
It produces very fast and small
code, which doesn't depend on libc :)
Q: Anyway, why pascal? It is outdated. (blah blah blah)
A: No. Modern pascal implementations is comparable to
other modern languages.
And I will write in pascal while I have no suitable oberon compiler
