Gentoo Prefix is explored to manage sophisticated physics software stacks. It will be shown that Gentoo Prefix is an advantageous package management solution for big physics experiments, for its reusability on heterogeneous host environments, its vast collection of ebuild recipes, its extensibility for the future computing architectures and its deep root in an open diverse community inside and outside science.
