If anyone's looking to experiment with this kind of thing... Paludis supports multiple repository formats. We're already supporting CRAN, and we might do CPAN, CTAN, that Ruby thingie at some point (although those're trickier because of conflicts with in-tree stuff). I looked into doing it for vim.org, although there's no standard package format there and no easy way of figuring out where to install something if it's just shipped as a .vim file (is it a colour scheme, a plugin, an ftplugin, an indent script, ...?). That's the biggie here -- is there a standard upstream format for whatever it is they're distributing? -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaran dot mccreesh at blueyonder.co.uk -- [email protected] mailing list
