I though that I was the only one in the world who considered a db-backed portage to be a much needed feature! Damn, I'm tired of editing long-ass, unorganized, file-based /usr/portage/package.* files! This is where it's at - can't wait to see it stabilize! Maybe you'd want to consider making this work under berkdb or sqlite, as those are both much lighter weight? ( though I concur with your opinion of postgresql - it's my rdbms of choice also ) Hey, this is seriously cool!

I see CREATE VIEW on the portage tree, while it's backend is still rw-accessable through /usr/portage once the importer works at a sufficient level it may be interesting to write something like portagefs for fuse. shouldn’t be a problem to put the fs-action into the database. a binary fallback provides safety and the parser provides all the database candy you can want.

Will you provide a non-web frontend (because, you know, web apps are uncool and all that)? Sounds like a really cool project!
