Since you have a habit of ignoring relevant bits of technical opposition to some of your more insane schemes, I'll cite *again* the relevant portion. '/etc/managed-portage/common/pre/make.profile/package.use: * In file '/etc/managed-portage/common/pre/make.profile/package.use': Error reading file: 'Error reading from fd 3: Is a directory' (paludis::SafeIFStreamError) (paludis::ConfigFileError) This is the exact same error that I get either when using the portage compatibility OR paludis with my profile defined in the only configuration file type where it is allowed to go (on my system /etc/paludis/repositories/gentoo-portage.conf), as per the paludis documentation. (http://paludis.pioto.org/configuration/repositories/e.html) build managed-portage # paludis -q apache palu...@1250986148: [WARNING portage_environment.dodgy] Use of Portage configuration files will lead to sub-optimal performance and loss of functionality. Full support for Portage configuration formats is not guaranteed; issues should be reported via trac. Unhandled exception: <snip repeat of previous email output> * In file '/etc/managed-portage/common/pre/make.profile/package.use': Error reading file: 'Error reading from fd 3: Is a directory' (paludis::SafeIFStreamError) (paludis::ConfigFileError) So, Ciaran, if your personal reference implementation of PMS fails miserably when using this methodology, your argument that I won't be or "am not" affected by your attempt at changing portage is invalid. If you'd like to test for yourself, I'll be more than happy to tar up both my /etc/paludis and /etc/managed-portage for you. If you can show me a DOCUMENTED configuration option for including a profiles/ directory for use with paludis that is outside of defining it in a repositories/*.conf file, and it's tested working, I'll gladly be quiet and go away. Otherwise, I will continue to loudly object to you attempting to break my systems.
