No. It isn't. I said that it can not build a Gentoo release, and |
| 17 |
paludis can not.[1] Are you trying to tell me that I am wrong and that |
| 18 |
paludis *can* build a Gentoo release? I'm really interested to hear |
| 19 |
what magic you have used to distort reality to make this possible. |

What you said has *no* bearing *whatsoever* on whether or not paludis |
| 26 |
can build a Gentoo release. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Are you really going to insist on trying this approach with this |
| 29 |
conversation? I say that paludis can not be used to build a Gentoo |
| 30 |
release, and your answer is that it would be easy to *not* build a |
| 31 |
Gentoo release? Huh? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I'm sorry, but what the hell does that have to do with *anything* that I |
| 34 |
am saying? |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
How about I make this a bit more directed, then? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
#1. Can paludis work with catalyst? |
| 39 |
#2. Can paludis build all of the release materials required by the |
| 40 |
Release Engineering release guidelines? |
| 41 |
#3. Can paludis build a portage-compatible VDB that can be used by the |
| 42 |
Gentoo Linux Installer? |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
If it can not do *any* of these three things, then it CAN NOT build a |
| 45 |
Gentoo release. There's no smooth talking or circular reasoning way |
| 46 |
around this simple FACT. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
All that you have succeeded in doing is alienating me from this |
| 49 |
discussion by completely ignoring everything that I have been saying to |
| 50 |
try to push... whatever it is that you're trying to push... as fact. |
| 51 |
I'm sorry, but you've lost any support that you might have had from me |
| 52 |
on this simply by your refusal to even speak on the topics which I have |
| 53 |
brought up. I really don't understand how ignoring points brought up |
| 54 |
that would help facilitate something that you want does anything to |
| 55 |
further your goals, but that seems to be your way of thinking. |
| 56 |

Good day. |
