Not Portage's current functionality. The subset of Portage's current functionality upon which ebuilds can rely. > It's only later that the whole PMS == Paludis thing came about. PMS isn't Paludis. Paludis is an independent implementation (and the only completely independent implementation) of PMS, and it's necessary to have such an independent implementation to ensure that PMS is a specification rather than a description of one particular program. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaranm at ciaranm.org Web : http://ciaranm.org/ Paludis, the secure package manager : http://paludis.pioto.org/
