In which case, I have no doubt he'll fork, although I hope it doesn't come to that. (And I still believe that situation can be avoided, with work. It shouldn't be happening on here tho.)
I have no personal experience of using either. It would be insulting of me to pretend that i have no personal feelings as to which dev team i prefer tho, although i continue to have sympathy for ciaran's feelings here. I 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, written by one of the (core?) portage devs. Apparently it's where a significant percentage of the improvements to portage have started out. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
