7 If anyone's looking to experiment with this kind of thing... Paludis
8 supports multiple repository formats. We're already supporting CRAN,
9 and we might do CPAN, CTAN, that Ruby thingie at some point (although
10 those're trickier because of conflicts with in-tree stuff).

12 I looked into doing it for vim.org, although there's no standard
13 package format there and no easy way of figuring out where to install
14 something if it's just shipped as a .vim file (is it a colour scheme, a
15 plugin, an ftplugin, an indent script, ...?). That's the biggie here --
16 is there a standard upstream format for whatever it is they're
17 distributing?
