Here is an ebuild for vde, it has no startup code (/etc/init.d/whatever) because it too dependent on needs. It might be integrated into net.* stuff but im not completely sure what the best option there. Usage: when running VM's on qemu/bochs/uml etc you might need an emulated network. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: The build works.

Nico, sorry this has taken so long. Where do you suggest this ebuild to go? -ryan
Probably better late then never. Well i have that problem where to place it. As such it is an network tool. The reason I built it was because qemu can work with it providing a virtual environment... My best guess i think currently is in net-misc. Maybe this is is a good time to seperate other ebuilds virtual links etc (ie tunnels et al) into a net-tunnel section? There is quite a lot of stuff around in net-misc.
Committed. Thanks.
