For how the discussion has gone before the opposite seemed true. Now, is it possible to alter the behaviour of paludis to act, still following the specs, in a way compatible with portage and which seem more logical to the majority of people writing this thread? Or at least discuss the possibility for paludis to change behaviour? It seem there would be some gain and nearly no loss, and make everyone happy (or at least try to) Best regards, Francesco
