The sunrise name name from Patrick Lauer and I personally really like it :) > > Instead of tackling the real problem -the lack of maintainers to deal > with all requests- 'sunrise' is trying to create a backdoor for > unreliable maintained stuff to enter the tree. Please, you are confusing "overlay" and "tree" here. And yes - I do try to tackle the real problem with this project. I am hoping to teach quite a few people how to write ebuilds and contribute with the overlay. I am already beeing contacted by interested people and it will only help the situation come better. Eventually a few good recruits might be the result of this project Also the sunriose overlay is an attempt to solve the unreliable maintained problem. You see that for example today we are committing a bunch of gcc-4.1 fixes for ebuilds that are obviously "unreliable maintained" in gentoo. The sunrise overlay helps to fix stuff quicker and extends the basis of people that can do maintaining work. Please do not comment on this if you have no real improvements to make and just fell like commenting, "flaming" it. Kind regards, - Stefan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
