Michael, |

I tried out paludis a few months ago. I do find Portage can be a bit slow. |
| 4 |
So I thought great - a "C++ version of Portage"! |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
However cave does do much stricter checking and has much more verbose |
| 7 |
output than emerge (way too much - like eix I guess). I really gave it my |
| 8 |
best shot to migrate over fully - but had to bale after a couple of weeks |
| 9 |
of trying to get one clean upgrade cycle. Speed wise - cave was slower than |
| 10 |
emerge (with no backtracking). So regular day-to-day installs would be |
| 11 |
quite slow (with the package tree being churned over multiple times). |
| 12 |
|

I'm sure I'll give it another go at some point... Maybe I was simply using |
| 14 |
it wrong... But boy it felt like it was for geeks who think "Portage is way |
| 15 |
too easy - give me something much harder"!! |
