I hope you will continue with our efforts to drive regular Portage |
11 |
forwards too. It's been a long road but also very productive. |

I notice that your fork cannot be installed at the same time as regular |
14 |
Portage. I think this will really hinder any interest in it. As |
15 |
Gentoo developers, we obviously have to make sure things work with the |
16 |
official package manager and that goes for you too. Would it be |
17 |
possible for them to coexist? I'm not saying I'll try it though, just |
18 |
making a suggestion. :) |
