[needs-packaging] Portage

[Fred]

Portage is a package management system. Portage is written in the Python programming language. Although the system itself is known as Portage, it consists of two main parts, the ebuild system and emerge. These two have roughly the same relation as rpm and yum, or dpkg and apt, in that the ebuild system takes care of the actual work of building and installing packages, while emerge is a front-end that resolves dependencies and similar issues.
