    I really like emerge/portage, even w/out the “candy” feature enabled. Great color highlighting, and verbose messages about any config change(s) needed.

      Portage remains to this day my favorite cli. It’s nice to look at and provides all the info I want.

      It’s the one thing I miss from gentoo…

          “waves vaguely”

          Portage was great but losing a day whenever there was a glibc upgrade or something that caused a more “exciting” upgrade than usual wasn’t worth it. I wanted more stability after a while.

            I can’t remember ever having a glibc related update problem. eselect news is always there for me. (:

            I only have rarely a perl update related problem, but usually solvable with a world update. And since there are now binpkgs I only compile what has differing useflags from the selected profile. Portage has never been better!

      Ohh it’s been a long time since I last used gentoo! I remember I used to love the green/blue (I hope my memory isn’t failing me) combination everywhere </3.

      I stopped using it because building the updates on multiple machines was becoming a pain and had a couple of drives fail, but those were good times!
