So if it can give the same end result, it can be a replacement. So hence paludis should be able to do what Portage + Catalyst now do. Which you've not-so-clearly said is not the case; unless paludis has now manifested the ability to generate bootable ISOs across nine architectures, which it clearly hasn't. Therefore paludis can not deliver the same end result as Portage. -- [email protected] mailing list
