Hi,

        I would like to use vsersvers on a Gentoo linux system. Gentoo linux is a
remarkably clean and easy to maintain source distro. The Gentoo package
system (portage) keeps lists of installed files for each packages. The format
is the following: 

---
$ cat /var/db/pkg/net-mail/qmail-1.03-r7/CONTENTS
dir /var
dir /var/qmail
dir /var/qmail/bin
obj /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue 070C8E96438FFA9F45E04DECF4E6A76B 1015772773
obj /var/qmail/bin/qmail-lspawn BF64FC5258A1C18832B72FC2BD9B9CCB 1015772773
[...]
---

	As you can see, configuration files are not distinguished from other files. 
Although, a list of directories containing configuration files is maintained. 
On my workstation, this list looks like:

--
/etc
/var/qmail/control
/usr/share/config
/usr/kde/2/share/config
/usr/kde/3/share/config
[...]
--

	I know the "vbuild" program relies on rpm's to get the list of files. I am 
not familiar with rpm's nor vservers (yet), so forgive me if I am mistaken. 
So the vbuild program is the one I should modify to make it use gentoo's 
portage system to get the list of installed packages and their files, right?

	Any advice on this subject is of course very appreciated.

Thank you,

Cedric
