From what I've learned the reason for e17 to not be in portage is that it's still under developement and haven't really reached a beta-state yet?

The e17 devs say (as of yesterday) it is pre-alpha. | Quote: | > The problem I see, is that you cant decc or convert the edje and

luck of the draw when playing with pre-alpha software  |

Does anyone know how long e17 has been at least semi-usable, but still considered pre-alpha?
Seems to me that it's racing Duke Nukem Forever to a release date. Big difference though, is that there's usable e17 code.

When I played around with e17 I think it was back in 2005 or so, and it was usable then. |

The ebuilds were in portage earlier. They were moved away once overlay support kicked in in portage.
BTW, instead of making these separate threads, all e17 stuff should be directed to the "E17 is coming" thread.

Their standards are pretty high (the e team). e17 is rock stable for me and has been for a while. Every so often there will be something odd, like the introduction of eio recently, so it is definitely still a work in progress.
This is their To Do List
