You (and others) should also be made aware of pkgcore then as it might turn |
| 11 |
out from these discussions that ciaran's future contributions will not be |
| 12 |
allowed in gentoo (unless i'm missing something.) In which case, I have no |
| 13 |
doubt he'll fork, although I hope it doesn't come to that. (And I still |
| 14 |
believe that situation can be avoided, with work. It shouldn't be happening |
| 15 |
on here tho.) |

I have no personal experience of using either. It would be insulting of me |
| 18 |
to pretend that i have no personal feelings as to which dev team i prefer |
| 19 |
tho, although i continue to have sympathy for ciaran's feelings here. I |
| 20 |
think he has been ill-treated in the past, but that's where it should stay. |

http://www.pkgcore.org/ if you want to see the other other package manager, |
| 23 |
written by one of the (core?) portage devs. Apparently it's where a |
| 24 |
significant percentage of the improvements to portage have started out. |
