That's funny, as I just installed Sabayon 4.1 KDE version the other day, |
| 19 |
and did an equo world update. After that I wanted to install quassel, |
| 20 |
but as the version in equo is ancient, I went for emerge. That wanted to |
| 21 |
install qt-core and some other qt packages, which obviously were already |
| 22 |
installed as deps for KDE. The emerge failed with a file collision of |
| 23 |
qt-core (the newly emerged package with the previous binary package). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I then turned to the #sabayon irc channel and was told: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
<yngwin> ok, so you can't just mix equo and emerge? |
| 28 |
<Azerthoth> yngwin honestly you can, but you better |
| 29 |
have a real firm grip on how both package systems work, |
| 30 |
and be willing to brick your system |
| 31 |
<yngwin> well, i know portage, i dont know equo yet |
| 32 |
<Azerthoth> equo is preferred barring that, converting |
| 33 |
the system to portage only, but mixing the two can be |
| 34 |
really tricky |
| 35 |
<Azerthoth> not saying you will brick your system, just |
| 36 |
saying that the odds increase exponentially |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I would love Sabayon to be Gentoo with binary support, that would have |
| 39 |
worked well on my laptop. But if mixing the package managers is so |
| 40 |
problematic, that's just not worth the trouble for me. |
