Hi, Both the current discussion as well as the overlay docs don't seem to cover the support topic as far i could see. This is an issue for us forums people though - our daily work involves classifying misplaced threads into officially supported (read: in the tree) and unsupported (someone installed some ebuild he found somewhere else) threads. The latter go into the Unsupported Software forum [1].
For now, we've added "Bugs/errors caused by ebuilds from
overlays.gentoo.org are covered by this forum, too." to the
description of this forum because we think the primary objective of
the forums is supporting officially supported ebuilds - those in the
tree.
I'm not saying it has to be/stay this way forever, but to be honest we
are quite taken by surprise to have a new project appear that is both
official(?) and unsupported(?) at the same time. So if at some time
you intend to point the users of the overlay at the forums, please let
them know the US-forum is the place to be.
cheers,
Wernfried
