Is there any way to have portage support a chrooted environment? I would like to chroot apache (and all of the supporting packages that I need along w/ apache such as PHP, SSL, and MySQL) but I would like to have portage maintain the setup. Basically, in an ideal world I could type `emerge -u world` and have emerge update all of the software on my computer including everything that has been chrooted. Right now, the only thing that I can see to do is have a version of apache emerged to the normal system and use jail to update everything in the chrooted system as needed.

It would be really cool to have some chroot fields in /etc/make.conf (e.g. chroot_root, chroot_packages) and have all packages listed in the chroot_packages installed (with all needed libraries) to chroot_root. That way only one copy of the package is installed and everything on the system is automatically maintained by portage.

I can dream... is this even possible?

I bet this would definitely be possible, but I'm sure it would take some work. To get things working in my chrooted environment I've just compiled them manually with ALOT of trial and error.

But if portage actually did the whole chroot thing, where would the fun be?!;)
