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?
