Hiya all, |
| 2 |
|

Just a quick note to let you know that the Paludis guys are happy to |
| 4 |
inform you that they've just released version 0.6.0 of Paludis, the most |
| 5 |
popular and widely used alternative to Portage. With this release |
| 6 |
they're finally more or less VDB compatible with Portage, so switching |
| 7 |
to and from Paludis is considerably more likely to work. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Paludis works with the normal ebuild tree, and can be expected to work |
| 10 |
with most ebuilds that aren't webapps. As demonstrated by it not being |
| 11 |
called "1.0", there are still bugs, missing features and general |
| 12 |
oddities; thus Paludis is not suitable for production systems, and if |
| 13 |
you care more about your data they encourage you to still use Debian. |
| 14 |
However, Paludis is now more or less usable for atleast some people, and |
| 15 |
it would be nice to get more testing from people who know what they are |
| 16 |
doing. |

More information can be found at http://paludis.berlios.de/ . In |
| 19 |
particular, the |
| 20 |
"Known Issues" and "Portage Differences" links may be of interest. There's also |
| 21 |
a #paludis IRC channel on Freenode. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Ebuilds are in the main tree as sys-apps/paludis. Gentoo's bugzilla should *NOT* |
| 24 |
be used for Paludis related issues, except for any bugs with the Paludis ebuild |
| 25 |
itself. |

As it no longer will rape your dog, I suggest you check it out. |

With love, |

Christelxx. |
