The main problem with such projects is that you cannot do some stuff in an easy way, that's the reason you have from scratch rewrite of 2.0 codebases many times. You take the wisdom from the design errors you had the first time and move to a better design. > So instead of saying that portage is missing features and developing > your own pm you could be even more productive and help improving portage. Not really. > Why don't ya do that? Because he knew that it would take less rewriting from scratch. now, having paludis and pkgcore around makes even portage improving since you can compare different ideas and have more inputs on how things could be done. lu - I like independent implementation, xine and mplayer won't be that good w/out each other. -- Luca Barbato Gentoo/linux Gentoo/PPC http://dev.gentoo.org/~lu_zero -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
