I just tried paludis again (after some time). Things that make it currently impossible to properly migrate my portage config: * you cannot unmask USE flags at all, not without hackery... and that is really non-trivial for unmasking abi_x86_32 globally, because those masks are scattered across a lot of files in profiles/ The explanation from the paludis developer is simply wrong: http://paludis.exherbo.org/trac/ticket/817 * seems there is no equivalent to --dynamic-deps=y (which is default in emerge)... either I am missing something or this is a pretty good reason to not use it -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJS6cwfAAoJEFpvPKfnPDWz+MoIAJvH9zDbsVQaRwyb+yMEowJ8 qXjaLmDTx5BFyyL7tSelFEYyNwh0DN1ypyOQu2VkScNOTNIbqfffWXsAPoe4GJrP pngtb9xo4H4/IIdtr7i8fwRU937UK5V4Fq0Er/e56SGpdHG3G+emxrBeuB2Y6n0M m+gdEI1xmSuB/YOd/byDc+t9qK1688qM23fHJd/SsW732FY9ooUlfSZuO39ltjpk 96ojLyGe4TAp5zkk2BNBbpLXyuAtszwsc8U5nPN89v87gbC7gH5pIrJDXbQkRfMF EP0ouZ6nfB4cDqFM1/GVvJ2+V24jleWkpV3UQmCPDAd18T6Qa/fkujz0JuijXAg= =FfQN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
