This is not only about adding a profile, but if paludis is officially |
| 2 |
supported by being in the tree and profiles, fixes for paludis get |
| 3 |
into the tree etc, this sounds like paludis is a Gentoo project and users |
| 4 |
will expect it to work and be supported. They will be allowed to ask |
| 5 |
questions about something not working with paludis on the forums, |
| 6 |
mailing lists, on irc etc without being off-topic. |
| 7 |
So far and with respect to other distributions (like e.g. Vida, |
| 8 |
Kororaa or whatever they were called) a rule of thumb was: |
| 9 |
A Gentoo system uses the official portage tree, was installed using |
| 10 |
the Gentoo installation guide using Gentoo stages, etc - and which was |
| 11 |
rather implicit - using portage as package manager. As far i |
| 12 |
understand it paludis differs from that in many ways. |
| 13 |
So before the package manager gets optional and we support something |
| 14 |
quite different we really should figure out what we consider a Gentoo |
| 15 |
installation. |
