pkgcore package manager

pkgcore is designed as drop-in replacement for  Gentoo portage, optimized for performance and written in Python.

It splits emerge into three main scripts:

• pmerge for installing, updating and removing packages. It has almost the same syntax as emerge.
• pquery for searching the portage tree and the installed packages. Search a package via pquery pkgcore. eix-like output via -v.
• pmaint for synchronizing the tree and other maintenance work. Synchronize tree and overlays via pmaint sync.

You can install it via emerge sys-apps/pkgcore.

For usage details see Getting started.
