PMS is a Gentoo project with external contributors, and hence can't be hosted on Gentoo svn. I define the direction PMS takes, and I control its subversion repository; Ciaran just happens to be doing a lot of the actual work writing it. There is nothing Paludis specific in it; it defines that set of behaviour upon which ebuilds may rely, which is for obvious reasons a subset of what Portage currently supports. If Paludis supports something that Portage doesn't, then it can't be used in the tree and doesn't belong in PMS, at least until Portage grows the support and it can be put into a later EAPI revision. The only connection between PMS and Paludis is a correlation between the people writing each. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
