there is another reason not to use paludis: you can't go back. At least not easily. With pkgcore you can switch between pkgcore and portage 'on the fly'. emerge app a, pmerge app b, emerge app c. The config files are not touched. Paludis on the other hand can only described with 'vendor lock in' and 'gratuitous incompatibilty'. And don't forget that it is slow. That it also requires a shitload of dependencies and installs more crap than portage and pkgcore combined doesn't make it better. At a last point: don't forget WHO is behind paludis - some of the most abusive persons gentoo has ever seen. The same people responsible for most problems. Abusive, agressive, searching for stuff that is not covered by rules, behave like a rabid ape until everything is covered by rules, suffocating gentoo and then turn into rule nazis and game the system. Yes, this people are behind paludis - and 'exherbo'. -- gentoo-amd64@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
