But then you'd need a tree of binary packages, which you'd only get with |
16 |
many users of your package manager, which would depend on official |
17 |
Gentoo adoption, which would depend on compelling other features, which |
18 |
would depend on having a way to get them into the ebuild tree without |
19 |
breaking portage. That's what I mean. I think you know that and that's |
20 |
why you did work on PMS, but then you point out features paludis has and |
21 |
portage hasn't repeatedly in a way that apparently builds up resistance |
22 |
in people here. |

Hm, perhaps you should let somebody else do the PR for paludis? :-) |

Yes. Also it's quite easy to screw up using the current format, nothing |
33 |
I'd recommend for heterogeneous environments. |

Now that'd be an interesting feature... *thinks about joining #paludis* |
