First of all, keep up the work with Paludis. |
| 2 |
Personally I think having a second package manager is a very good thing. |
| 3 |
I do have some questions. Could someone of the Paludis crew please |
| 4 |
answer them? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
1) If Paludis has no business in replacing portage on systems (shame, if |
| 7 |
it's better/faster it should) why are we having this discussion. |
| 8 |
I understand that you need a profile and with an overlay you need to |
| 9 |
copy the profiles dir (the whole profiles dir) but be serious that's only |
| 10 |
So my question would you be able to do tests without changing the |
| 11 |
official tree by copying the profiles dir in an own overlay. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
2) If Paludis will be installed on a system to test, and installs |
| 14 |
packages, will portage be aware of that installation, and will it be |
| 15 |
able to remove it (meaning Paludis changes the portage VDB correctly |
| 16 |
when needed). (i've seen you explain that Paludis can read it but not |
| 17 |
that it can write it correctly) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
3) If using an own binary format will there be an extracter for it that |
| 20 |
isn't part of Paludis? Why am i asking this? Well i've seen instances |
| 21 |
when an upgrade broke something, and that was a dep of portage. So my |
| 22 |
emerge couldn't revert back. So i just untarred the tarball and |
| 23 |
recompiled it. (might not be the cleanest way, but the only way i found |
| 24 |
in certain situations). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
4) Will Paludis ever become a Gentoo Project? |
| 27 |

Thank you very much for the hard work! |
