So what you're saying is that until Paludis is called Portage and is identical to Portage, it's a no go. Which is clearly crazy talk, since Paludis can already be used to install a system from scratch -- it just does so differently. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaran dot mccreesh at blueyonder.co.uk -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
