That is not true generally though. Most of them are of "experimental" |
| 20 |
nature, but some try to provide good, working and stable packages for |
| 21 |
stuff that can't make it into portage (no dev willing to adopt it, |
| 22 |
unpopular software, policy reasons, etc.) Just because something isn't |
| 23 |
in portage doesn't mean it's always "experimental". |
