Attached is an ebuild for the unstable branch of nano, which includes support for multi-buffer, colors and .nanorc. It's mostly a copy of the 1.0.9-r2 ebuild and should conform to standards. Unpacking the tarball will give you app-editors on down, including an edited Changelog and a digest file. This has some nifty new features and the 1.1.x branch has caused no problems for me over several versions. Cheers, and thanks for your consideration.
