Paludis, Gentoo and Ciaran McCreesh uncensored (Obsethryl's Lab) [LWN.net]

George Makrydakis talks with Ciaran McCreesh about Paludis. "As a project, paludis combines a lot of what you will see in F/LOSS, in both social structure and relations to the "fathering" project. Instead of presenting Paludis myself and why it is preferable to use it in a Gentoo system instead of portage, I took the liberty of asking Mr. Ciaran McCreesh, Chief developer among the Paludis team about a relatively gentle introduction to the Paludis world, why it became a necessity, its design and goals. Also the relation with Gentoo is examined, but also a glimpse at how F/LOSS can be a socially complicated issue emerges from this text. This was an email Q & A with Mr. McCreesh and the replies laid here are uncensored."
