Description: About Portage
        =============
        
        Portage is a package management system based on ports collections. The
        Package Manager Specification Project (PMS) standardises and documents
        the behaviour of Portage so that ebuild repositories can be used by
        other package managers.
        
        
        Dependencies
        ============
        
        Python and Bash should be the only hard dependencies. Python 3.6 is the
        minimum supported version.
        
        Native Extensions
        =================
        
        Portage includes some optional native extensions which can be built
        in the source tree by running the following command:
        
            python setup.py build_ext --inplace --portage-ext-modules
        
        The following setup.cfg settings can be used to enable building of
        native extensions for all invocations of the build_ext command (the
        build_ext command is invoked automatically by other build commands):
        
           [build_ext]
           portage-ext-modules=true
        
        Currently, the native extensions only include libc bindings which are
        used to validate LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE behavior for EAPI 6. If the
        native extensions have not been built, then portage will use ctypes
        instead.
