Oh lovely. - If noone has any strong reasonable objections, I'd like to add a $ians-playground profile to the tree. Furthermore I will start to keywording ebuilds with the new ~fridge keyword I just invented. > The next question is where to put it.

Hardened and the other things you mentioned are gentoo projects. - Paludis is not. > That's my proposal. The benefits I like to think are obvious.

We have got enough - let's call it $stuff - in the tree. I'd really like to see valid and reasonable things added to the tree. - Adding things just because someone thinks it would be funny to add it to the tree can't be the way gentoo wants to go. > Comments? Looking at the comment left for end-users on the paludis homepage [1] I'm still wondering why paludis is not package.mask'ed as it's known to break users systems.
