@dayul Paludis is much more pedantic considering everything. It warns much more often than portage does. Portage usualy just swallows something. I had to edit a few ebuilds to make them work. Thanks to this, I feel more at home with ebuilds. I had to digg in the ebuild stuff one day anyway.

there is bashcomp for paludis as well so thats not really a good arguement for switching.

zxy · Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2007 2:43 am Post subject:

I want to switch to zsh for some time already, so it's not the main reason.

Any news about new versions of Paludis? What's comming in the new releases?
Any dev has some news?

I've noticed that you've made a file for storing all of the mirrors that paludis will use instead of having them in make.conf. Now, in portage there's a file /etc/portage/mirrors which stores some default mirrors to use before any others are looked at. Obviously, the reason for using this file is that if an ebuild specifies to only use the upstream mirror, it will download from the upstream mirror even if a mirror mentioned in make.conf (especially one on your local network) has the file.

Unless I'm mistaken, I didn't see a way for paludis to support this. I understand the reasoning for not using this kind of feature is for the (rare) case that the upstream people change a file without making a new version, but that is avoided by the fact that we use checksums to tell us if the file downloaded isn't the same as the expected one.

edit:
My question was answered for me. I went to the paludis website which had some much-improved docs including info on this very question.

How do I add version information to my overlays? [Using SVN]
Here's an example:

I just looked at the changelog. Quite a number of improvements.

I don't know about awk make. It is mentioned in changelog. If awk is used instead of sed it could be much faster. (I wish). I'm not sure abot this, I just read one line in changelog.

I saw zsh completion in the folders, too. Looks like this thread has some effects afterall.

Here is what it says on Ciaranm Thingy
