 Unofficial port to Gentoo and the portage system. It was
 [announced](http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=41939&amp;postdays=0&amp;postorder=asc&amp;start=0)
 March 17, 2003 in the Gentoo forums.  There's a #gentoo-irc channel similar to

+
+> *Did you work a bit more on the Gentoo GNU/Hurd?*
+
+I tried to resume my work 3-4 months ago but I found some problems with
+portage and python functions not implemented on Hurd so I stopped. I think
+that back in 2006 with portage 2.0.54 those functiones weren't necessary.
+
+> *And do you have some information which might help others advance what you began?*
+
+I just have all the ebuilds and binary packages I merged online on
+[http://www.mundurat.net/ggh/portage](http://www.mundurat.net/ggh/portage). 
+
+To continue my work just take a Debian/Hurd and install portage by hand.
+
+Once there take the profile and start bootstraping portage and all the
+ebuild it needs (patch, python, bzip2...).
+
+The major problems are:
+
+- combine the perfect gcc/binutils/glibc/gnumach/hurd and to be able to boot
+- lack of development on gnumach/hurd and current 'degraded' status.
+
+I don't think I can help much right now, but if you have any other
+question just write me.
