Would you consider adding ESS to portage? I would be happy to help out if necessary. There are many former Mandrake users who are die-hard R and ESS users now making the jump to Gentoo. Adding ESS would be extremely helpful. Thanks for your consideration. Cheers, Patrick
if you use XEmacs the package for ess will be in portage very soon i can write up an ebuild for ess for Emacs, but that will take me longer
looks like it was added to portage
