I was a Gentoo user some 2.5 years ago and was very fond of it because it updates frequently and includes newer versions of applications into portage faster than other distributions. Later I switched away to Ubuntu for working environment reasons (colleagues are using Ubuntu and I got support / communication easier). Now I just switch back to Gentoo and discovered, well, I am not sure but looks a bit lag behind on updating portage. I only noticed two examples: 1. Development for NVU wysiwyg editor has stalled for some years, the other project continued its development called "kompozer". Ubuntu has it there but I cannot find it in Gentoo. 2. The other package arphicfonts are not developed for years neither, a continue effort is the CJK Unifont project. In Gentoo still there are only old packages. The new project produce Chinese font that is used as default Chinese font in Ubuntu. Both new projects started after I switched away from Gentoo some 2 years ago, so it seems Gentoo didn't catch up. Maybe I am completely wrong: I am sensative to these packages just because I am a Chinese user and these two packages happen to improved for Chinese users a lot; meanwhile there might be a lot other packages newly included in Gentoo but overlooked by other distributions. But just how do you feel generally? Is the portage keeping following up slower then before? By the way I can compile these packages myself and I can contribut ebuilds when I got some free time (e.g. in the coming holiday). I am just a bit curious on how everything is generally going on in Portage.
