Interesting, so another distro is finally going to try this. At the very least, as-needed installation of KDE packages is something we've had in Gentoo...

[Wyatt]

So let me get this straight.... His proposed solution to this is YET ANOTHER COMPLEX LOW-LEVEL DAEMON DEPENDING ON HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF LINES OF CODE!?...

Interesting; this dovetails nicely with the rumours that AMD was looking to buy MIPS outright. Considering MIPS' current market cap is at about $350...

As far as C++ goes, SWIG has D codegen now; have you tried it? (What game?)...

D1 has been around for a long time, yeah, but D2 is only just getting to a place we can, if we squint, call stable. The community has really grown in...

It's an interesting architeture, and I know at least a couple people who are pretty stoked about it. I'm not sure how I feel about x86 living on even...

Except it's exceedingly rare for a dist-upgrade to actually work without breaking a buch of crap (subtly or overtly). Really, this is well documented...

To clarify the above just a trifle, it's trivial to make it a "Free" distro by setting ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FSF-APPROVED" in make.conf...

[Wyatt]

Nope. Our ethos is of user choice; pragmatism is what we do. Even our more churlish developers aren't so spiteful as to attempt to dictate what choices...

[Wyatt]

Because what's a "Gentoo", right? (Hint: Sabayon is pretty much Gentoo unstable with a few extra ebuilds. And no QA.)...

Looking over his suggestions here, the gist of it is "I want us to be more like Gentoo". Suffice to say, I am...
