Craft is completely unrelated to Gentoo portage. So the name portage was just coincidentally chosen for the directory housing the package management scripts? Craft used to be called Emerge (and I guess that's why the package directory is called portage), but it shares no code with Gentoo portage; the user interface is just vaguely similar. It was renamed to Craft precisely to reduce confusion with the Gentoo tool. The developers can clarify, but I believe Craft (which was originally called portage) was developed using Gentoo's portage as a model, but the name was changed because there is no real relationship, other than that they are both package management systems. The same name implied far more of a connection that there ever was. [sorry - I posted before I really read Comment 3, with which I agree completely.] Well, then Well, I've updated the name with my intent behind the suggestion. I hope referencing the architecture of portage was useful. My apologies for the post fragment. I'd like to add a wishlist, and don't know if it shoulud be part of this one, or if it should be filed separately. Right now, you can't even run craft in two Powershell windows - you gen an error just running craftenv.ps1. I'd like at least to be able to do that, so (for example) I can run "craft --print-installed" every few minutes to watch the progress of a "craft package" where there is a really long list of packages to be installed as dependencies. The KDE Windows Bugzilla product is no longer maintained. If you have issues with some application on Windows, please report the issue at the bugtracker of the application. If you have issues that still persist with Craft itself, please report them here: https://invent.kde.org/packaging/craft/-/issues |
