Hmm.. I am using paludis on my systems and I know I wouldn't like to go back. It isn't officially supported by Gentoo yet and it won't be until there is a written down definition of what is allowed and what is disallowed in ebuilds. So filing a bug saying this package doesn't work with paludis will be ignored by at least some of the Gentoo devs. Whether you should move or not I'll leave up to you. Following ciaranm.org or even planetpaludis.org should allow you to decide for yourself... Just make sure to read the docs at paludis.org if you want to try it. Effort is being put into making paludis compatible with portage so it's not necessarily a one way street. It's config files aren't compatible though. -- Bo Andresen
