So I don't have to keep repeating it on IRC... The plan is something like this:
* We make a new Paludis client called 'cave'. It works like git, so you have commands like 'cave install', 'cave sync' and 'cave show' (show is nicer than query), with man pages like 'cave-install'. This will get rid of a lot of the issues like "why doesn't --show-use-descriptions do anything with --query?". * We hook 'cave install' up to the new resolver (the one that doesn't do blockers, has very few options and that probably doesn't work). * For Gentoo, we keep on telling people to use 'paludis', and keep 'paludis --install' hooked up to the old resolver for now. 'cave' will be available only to people who know how to turn it on. * For Exherbo, we provide 'cave' and disable 'paludis' entirely. * Once the new resolver is fully featured and well tested, we have a few options for Gentoo. We could make 'paludis --install' use the new resolver. We could start pushing Gentoo users over to 'cave' and deprecate the 'paludis' client. Or we could make a client that's much closer to 'emerge', whilst offering 'cave' as the option for non casual users. -- Ciaran McCreesh
