This package is useful outside of chrome as well.

Could you give an example? Currently I don't see an easy way for the chrome ebuild to use the system v8 (it's not only the v8 code itself problem, but also v8 bindings to webkit). If a standalone v8 ebuild would be still useful for someone, I would consider maintaining it.

dev-db/mongodb can also use v8 as its javascript engine (currently it uses spidermonkey)

Comment 8 Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2010-05-12 15:51:09 UTC

And another example that could use v8 is node.js - http://nodejs.org

Comment 9 Johan Bergström 2010-05-27 06:05:19 UTC

v8 is becoming the premier way of using "javascript server side". Test suites, applications and frameworks. I imagine dev-javascript soon popping up, and v8 is the most common runner.

Added an experimental, hard masked dev-lang/v8 ebuild to portage. Enjoy!
