We could put profiles in an overlay, but it would require adding support for inheriting profiles relative to another repository path rather than relative to the current directory. Doable, but another place to be incompatible with Portage, so something I'd like to avoid having to do if possible. > 2) If Paludis will be installed on a system to test, and installs > packages, will portage be aware of that installation, and will it be > able to remove it (meaning Paludis changes the portage VDB correctly > when needed).

Yes; it's called tar. > 4) Will Paludis ever become a Gentoo Project? Doubtful, barring some rather drastic changes in Gentoo and the way its projects are handled. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
