You're welcome. - Obviously you didn't get the point. So please let me clarify |
| 11 |
my statement: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
If paludis ever will be marked stable will developers have to test their |
| 14 |
packages to work with the latest stable paludis and the lastest stable |
| 15 |
portage? Users will expect ebuilds to work with paludis. You are saying that |
| 16 |
paludis does not require any changes made to any ebuilds in the |
| 17 |
gentoo-portage-tree. What if a stable paludis fails on a stable ebuild? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If I would add $ians-toolset to sys-apps and $ians-playgroud to profiles users |
| 20 |
will expect this stuff to be supported by gentoo. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
In the end we (gentoo) will have to support the "other package manager" aka |
| 23 |
paludis because "if it's in the tree users will expect it to work and being |
| 24 |
supported". That's not what I'm going to do. |
