So far +it's only keyworded for ~x86, but we hope to see it soon in the amd64 and +x64-solaris ports. If you're using Gentoo on some other architecture, it +should still work provided that you have a reasonably up to date Python; +try adding `app-admin/bcfg2 ~*` to your `/etc/portage/package.keywords` +file. + +If you don’t use portage to install Bcfg2, you’ll want to make sure you +have all the prerequisites installed first. For a server, you’ll need: + +* ``app-admin/gamin`` or ``app-admin/fam`` +* ``dev-python/lxml`` + +Clients will need at least: + +* ``app-portage/gentoolkit`` |
