Features
Boxenator is not a graphical or simplified tool. The interface and documentation assume working knowledge of Portage use.
- Portage configuration is centralised in one file—organised as desired.
- Gathering of parameters and output of options is fully scriptable in Python.
- Multiple systems can be configured with the same template script.
- Adds support for per-package environment variables and custom patches.
