Paludis fails with fatal error on every "paludis" command after adding
SuperHeron's "exherbo-misc" repository, because... I haven't manually added
a master repository on which that repository depends?
At the very least, perhaps it's improper for this to be a fatal error.
Perhaps the text it emits is too terse as well: e.g.,
* Repository 'SuperHeron-misc' depends upon 'mono', which is not
configured (paludis::ConfigurationError)
What's 'mono'? I know it's an unavailable repository, now. I didn't then.
Rephrasing this, ala:
* Repository 'SuperHeron-misc' requires repository 'mono', which is not
configured (paludis::ConfigurationError)
...would have helped a great deal.

What? Wikis are entirely in keeping with Exherbo philosophy of distributed
development: in this case, distributed documentation development.
Do you suggest alternatives? If not, what's to hypothetically halt any
Exherbo user from posting an unofficial Wiki: say, "http://exherbo-wiki.org
"?

I'm getting that impression. ;}
Thanks for the comments, Bo. Have a warm week!
