| What features? You're tracking CONFIG_PROTECT_*, and saving a copy |
| 7 |
| of the eclass (icky solution, but we've discussed that in the past). |

Right now, the biggie is virtuals. Attempting to unmerge a virtual that |
| 12 |
was installed via Paludis will confuse the heck out of Portage. There's |
| 13 |
also the whole "handling symlink / directory mismatches" issue, which |
| 14 |
will cause Portage to incorrectly unmerge some Paludis-installed things |
| 15 |
(and, for that matter, some Portage-installed things). |

| Name a few please, ones that are portage incompatibility rather then |
| 22 |
| "ebuild no longer works against other ebuilds in the tree". Can't do |
| 23 |
| anything about the latter, but the former without proof is fud. |

We went over this already. Remember webapp.eclass? |

Heh. You keep on picking out things that you think will be difficult to |
| 35 |
implement. |

| Please clarify on the "full"- since portage relies on EAPI protection |
| 42 |
| already, any issues you see with it's implementation I'd love to know. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Portage still relies upon being able to source ebuilds, even if their |
| 45 |
EAPI isn't supported. |

| Additionally, you went and commited the vars into paludis (doing |
| 48 |
| exactly what I said to do), thank you- lets avoid the 5 emails back |
| 49 |
| and forth in the future however please... |

| 51 |
Yes, we now have ~15 lines of useless code. But if that's what it takes |
| 52 |
to make you happy... |
