Naturally I meant to include it when it was finished. |
| 23 |
I am using 0.26... and it works very well. It is MUCH faster than emerge, the |
| 24 |
config scheme is cleaner and better organized IMHO, and the ooutput it |
| 25 |
provides in the console seems much cleaner to me. |
| 26 |
It doesn't work out of the box because you have to configure it. The |
| 27 |
configuration is relatively easy... especially if you use |
| 28 |
portage2paludis.bash. |
| 29 |
It hasn't broken anything for me and I've remerged world, gcc, system, |
| 30 |
security, etc. However when I used portage to remerge world for 3 days my |
| 31 |
machine kept crashing afterwards. |
| 32 |
I however hope that *if* paludis manages to win more users over from portage |
| 33 |
that it will be included as the default PM. |
| 34 |
Cheers. |
