Me and Bevin is currently designing a package system which will be based
on Gentoo's Portage but will be much improved compared to it.

There have been discussions about what to use for base, either Debian or
Gentoo. Though I believe that we should use this new package system
(which will hold of the start of packaging a while, shouldn't be too
much of a problem since there are lot of designing to do before that).

.debs is a (imho) mess to work with and Gentoo's portage doesn't fulfill
all of the requirements. By doing the package system together with this
project also gives us the possibility to make sure that the package
system / tools can be used in the ways we want.

So, I would say that the first step is to decide on target group, then
make a list of requirements. After that we can start to design the
system to fulfill those reqs.

First after we have the design in place we should choose system (and
hopefully me and Bevin, and hopefully others have something useful).

Anyone interested in the package system (called Bagheera),
