Running portage-utils on non Gentoo system

[yzh]

Does anyone have experience running portage-utils on a non Gentoo system?

I want to host my binary packages on a different system (which is non Gentoo). It's currently a Ubuntu machine but hosts it as the old packages/All directory.

Now I want to migrate to the new package directory structure using the "Packages" meta file. But this is generated with the "emaint binhost --fix" command. The reason I need to generate the Packages file is that I also compile my own packages on a buildslave that is synced to this server. So my package dir is also populated from another source.

Maybe the easiest way, mount the packages-dir to your local machine using SSHFS/SMB/NFS/etc, tweak the path to it in make.conf and then run the command needed?
