I wholeheartedly agree with Stephen on this. You should have brought up the idea for the Sunricers project on this mailing for discussion instead of just going ahead and implementing it. Personally, I dislike the idea of having officially supported (read: hosted on *.gentoo.org infrastructure) overlays for unmaintained ebuilds for which nobody did any real quality assurance. I fear this will drag Gentoo back into the old-ages of having a reputation of a ricer-distribution; a reputation I for one have worked very hard to get rid of during the past 2 years. Please put this project on hold until is has been discussed properly on this mailing list. Regards, Brix -- Henrik Brix Andersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Metadistribution | Mobile computing herd
