portage-ng is still in a very early planning stage, also it won't be a |
10 |
simple upgrade but a completely new package. Also many informations can |
11 |
technically only be gotten from installed packages if they are supposed |
12 |
to be accurate. If we get them from uninstalled packages the accuracy |
13 |
will be reduced depending on the package. So the question would be is |
14 |
inaccurate information better or worse than no information? |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |
22 |
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
