Perhaps my last post in the topic! :)
to clarify:
gentoo:
loose integration
greater quantity of packages
fedora:
tight integration
lesser quantity of packages
However, if it's about the same quantity of labor to create an e-build as
to create an RPM, I'm not sure *why* the quantity of ebuilds is greater...
So, isn't some form of, perhaps, tightly integrated build-from source
type packaging, the best of both worlds? (binaries for GNOME, and so
forth, at request a la sabayon.)
