At Matt Miller's recommendation, I added Conary to the list of
packaging tools I'm investigating as a possible language independent
user level package management system:

(Sam Kottler actually suggested Conary to me at Flock a couple of
years ago, but I never got around to investigating it)
In trying to research that, I was having a lot of trouble finding
useful docs, so I filed an issue about that on their GitHub issue
tracker:
https://github.com/sassoftware/conary/issues/2
Near term, they pointed out the clone of their old wiki from the rPath
days:
https://opensource.sas.com/conarywiki/index.php/Main_Page
Longer term, they've started putting updated docs together at
http://sassoftware.github.io/conary/ (very bare bones at the moment,
but I suggested they look at MediaWiki export + Pandoc to convert some
of the old docs from the wiki clone).
They also mentioned that they've finally been able to fully open
source rBuilder itself, and pointed out
http://sassoftware.github.io/appengine/quickstart.html for folks that
would like to try out conary, rmake and rbuild in a prebuilt VM.
+1 - Thanks for looking into this, I've also heard good things about
conary but also never had the time to really dig into it. I've read
their "Technology Document"[0] and it's very interesting (though the
inability to prune repos is a little concerning).
I look forward to seeing your findings from this effort.
