Pranked!

Steve :-)

I got you now. Good joke.

But I'm standing still. I won't change portage in a meantime, because the "only" features I use from it is to sync and install packages.

Now, 2 more things (also funny):

1. Patrick is an ex-dev (you can find multiple sources of that online, including my own rants few months ago), and he's definitely close to pkgcore team. If I'm not mistaken, he's even providing them with hosting services for the site.
2. The "cokehabit" being japanese guy is a prank on its own. Patrick is just evil :-) (aren't ya, mr. DrEeevil?)

He's real name is George, and he's british. Besides, he has nothing to do with Paludis project.

But that was a good one, sorry for being harsh :-)
