I don't quite see how there is anything temporary about it. As I see |
| 10 |
standardizing the ebuilds is the permanent solution. It allows for several |
| 11 |
package managers to coexist (i.e. no *one* needs to prevail) and by looking |
| 12 |
at the standard one can always determine if a bug is in the ebuild or in the |
| 13 |
package manager. I think the discussion about package managers is an example |
| 14 |
of a heated discussion that ended out with the perfect solution. |
