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" | url}>development version</a>. +</p> + +<%self:h2>Installation</%self: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 -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> + +<%self:h2>Translations</%self:h2> +<p> + Portato does know about the so called <strong>Native Language Support</strong>.

These are for example: +</p> +<ul> + <li><a href="http://www.haskell.org/himerge">Himerge</a> - a frontend written in Haskell (yeah ;P)</li> + <li><a href="http://porthole.sourceforge.net/">Porthole</a> - also written in Python and using GTK+. This frontend inspired me to do my own ;). I also suggest this one as the alternative if Portato does not work as expected.</li> + <li><a href="http://www.kuroo.org/">Kuroo</a> - a frontend especially aimed for the KDE environment. <em>(Development seems to have stopped)</em> +</ul> |
