Unfortunately in this case there is only one cat, he has only one skin and there is only one knife with which to skin him. Chris asked if paludis can build a release (meaning an official Gentoo release), which means following the Release Guidelines to the letter. That involves things that you clearly state that paludis either cannot or will not do. Your answer boils down to "Paludis can (or will be able to) build something that would work in a similar fashion to an official Gentoo release insofar as it has the ability to facilitate an end-user install. It does not now nor will it ever be able to create a release according to the Release Guidelines." In effect making your answer "No." --Dan -- [email protected] mailing list
