So? It's a package in the tree, and I'd like a new profile to make best use of it. Compare with the commercial/mysql profile if you like.

Right, in the same way that the Alpha or hardened profiles are a different version of gentoo. > I already stated that I would find a no-portage profile discussable. > This profile would then mean that portage, pkg-core, and paludis > would be able to handle it. This I would see as a viable alternative in the short term. It should probably be moved into a different thread though, due to the sheer volume of noise in this one. > I am not sure though whether having a portage virtual would not be > enough.

Again, a step in the right direction, but should probably be in its own thread by now. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
