Well the big thing is that unlike Gentoo, Exherbo was able to switch to |
| 7 |
using Git for its repositories. On top of that, Exherbo also has proper |
| 8 |
automated tinderbox runs (with automated conflict resolution) for |
| 9 |
changes, including across repositories, and a much stronger culture of |
| 10 |
accepting that breaking changes to APIs and APIs that give an error on |
| 11 |
misuse are necessary for a quality product, and a tolerance of |
| 12 |
developers making those changes and then applying the fixes to other |
| 13 |
people's packages. Distributed is much easier to do if you're starting |
| 14 |
from something which is correct and verified... |
