11 What do you need this for? It's a fairly meaningless bit of information
12 now that there's package.keywords for Portage.

16 You can get the value of the ARCH var used to install Paludis.

20 Sure it is. Ask a repository if it has a metadata key named 'sync', and
21 use what it returns.

26 Not quite. We treat =* things differently depending upon context (they
27 mean the thing that makes sense when used in user config files, and
28 only emulate Portage weirdness when handling EAPI controlled things).

32 You seem to be hitting upon it with the 'global configuration' things.
33 Pretty much everything in Paludis is a per-package setting, with
34 wildcards being how you apply settings broadly.
