With this release they're finally more or less VDB compatible with Portage, so switching to and from Paludis is considerably more likely to work. Paludis works with the normal ebuild tree, and can be expected to work with most ebuilds that aren't webapps. As demonstrated by it not being called "1.0", there are still bugs, missing features and general oddities; thus Paludis is not suitable for production systems, and if you care more about your data they encourage you to still use Debian. However, Paludis is now more or less usable for atleast some people, and it would be nice to get more testing from people who know what they are doing. More information can be found at http://paludis.berlios.de/ . In particular, the "Known Issues" and "Portage Differences" links may be of interest. There's also a #paludis IRC channel on Freenode. Ebuilds are in the main tree as sys-apps/paludis. Gentoo's bugzilla should *NOT* be used for Paludis related issues, except for any bugs with the Paludis ebuild itself. As it no longer will rape your dog, I suggest you check it out. With love, Christelxx. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
