20 I talked with the other AMD64 leads about adding a paludis subprofile to
21 default-linux/amd64. Blubb said he'd rather have a global profile,
22 Kingtaco state to be neutral in regard to adding another amd64
23 subprofile. I'd rather have a global profile, too.
24
25 Summary: amd64 team can live with a paludis profile, we prefer to have a
26 global profile, though.

29 PS:
30 As a sidenote to people who test or play with paludis and find packages
31 that don't compile/install: Please don't file bugs with gentoo. Come to
32 #paludis and discuss with us. If we tell you to do so, file bugs with
33 paludis@×××××××.de. We are really interested to know which packages
34 don't work.
