Please elaborate. What difficulties? What did you implement other than plain SDEPEND? With what features?

Well, this depends on the quality of the PMS architecture, I am not familiar with Paludis tho. I don't remember to have listed anything about what needs to be done at the implementation level actually, nor I really wanted to. I always use the 5 minutes "rule of thumb" strategy to understand the complexity of proposals: if it takes me more than 5 minutes to understand it, then users (!= devs) will have to go through the same or more "wtf-period". And the probability of them "giving up / getting sick / ignoring it" is linear with the wtf-period. > > -- > Ciaran McCreesh -- Fabio Erculiani
