Do the KDE-live builds require paludis? I recall reading that they were |
| 12 |
headed that way, because it could support an EAPI with needed features |
| 13 |
while portage couldn't yet. Those builds were live only and were to stay |
| 14 |
in the overlay since packages in the main tree must support portage. It |
| 15 |
was the non-live snapshot versions that were the portage ebuilds, to |
| 16 |
eventually be targeted at the tree, after they became release ebuilds, of |
| 17 |
course. |

I've not done paludis due to its lack of binary package support. Even |
| 20 |
tho I'm running only a single computer, I use binary packages for |
| 21 |
installation backups and handy lookup reference since I can just dig in |
| 22 |
the appropriate package tarball to see what an old version of a file |
| 23 |
looked like, so lack of binary package support is as far as I'm concerned |
| 24 |
a blocker, here. But I guess it hasn't been a priority (sort of like |
| 25 |
proxy support in KDE4, from what I read). <shrug> If it works for |
| 26 |
them... but it's not going to work for me without it. |
