Hmm.. I am using paludis on my systems and I know I wouldn't like to go back. |
| 14 |
It isn't officially supported by Gentoo yet and it won't be until there is a |
| 15 |
written down definition of what is allowed and what is disallowed in ebuilds. |
| 16 |
So filing a bug saying this package doesn't work with paludis will be ignored |
| 17 |
by at least some of the Gentoo devs. |

Whether you should move or not I'll leave up to you. Following ciaranm.org or |
| 20 |
even planetpaludis.org should allow you to decide for yourself... Just make |
| 21 |
sure to read the docs at paludis.org if you want to try it. Effort is being |
| 22 |
put into making paludis compatible with portage so it's not necessarily a one |
| 23 |
way street. It's config files aren't compatible though. |
