Paludis is not a Gentoo project. There is no disagreement there. This discussion is about PMS, not Paludis. As for "hosted on Gentoo infrastructure" and "controlled by Gentoo", I'd like to point you to other projects that started out the same way: * eselect, a Gentoo project * devmanual, a Gentoo project * the Gentoo forums Note that the first two also had initial non-public restricted releases in the same style being used for PMS, and both ended up benefiting greatly from it. Also note that the traditional "open up discussions and source to everyone straight away" alternative to eselect ended up being a hideous XML mess that never got anywhere, at least in part due to its development model. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaranm at ciaranm.org Web : http://ciaranm.org/ Paludis, the secure package manager : http://paludis.pioto.org/
