<p>
    Portato is a GUI for the package manager of <a href="http://www.gentoo.org">Gentoo</a> and <a href="http://www.sabayonlinux.org">Sabayon</a> - Portage. It is mostly written in <a href="http://www.python.org">Python</a> for the GTK+-frontend, which is used in most Linux desktop environments (except KDE).
</p>

<p>
    As the current portage development is quite fast-paced, Portato is not able to keep step. Thus it might be that the released version(s) do not behave as expected. In these cases also try the <a href="/development">development version</a>.
</p>

<h2>Installation</h2>
<p>
    Portato is delivered with the standard portage tree and can be installed using <code>emerge portato</code>.
    If you want to use the development version, you need to do the following (given you have installed and configured layman ... if not: see <a href="http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml">this guide</a>):
</p>

<%self:hl lang="bash">
layman -o http://portato.sourceforge.net/layman.xml -f -a portato
echo "=app-portage/portato-9999" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
echo "=app-portage/portato-9999" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge -av portato
</%self:hl>

<h2>Translations</h2>
