I don't quite see how there is anything temporary about it. As I see standardizing the ebuilds is the permanent solution. It allows for several package managers to coexist (i.e. no *one* needs to prevail) and by looking at the standard one can always determine if a bug is in the ebuild or in the package manager. I think the discussion about package managers is an example of a heated discussion that ended out with the perfect solution. -- Bo Andresen
