pkgcore is my pick for the next portage and codebase for emerge-ng. I admit I haven’t let paludis have a chance (yet).Why haven’t I let paludis have it’s chance?The reasons are quite simple. Everytime I have tried paludis prior to this it has required extra configuration (meaning it doesn’t work out of the box). I believe this was fixed recently. However,paludis@1208029212: [WARNING] Use of Portage configuration files will lead to sub-optimal performance and loss of functionality.
