It needs to not be a Gentoo project and not hosted on Gentoo infrastructure, with absolutely no support from Gentoo. I have absolutely no problem with overlays that are for a specific target. I would have no problems with either of the sunrise "maintainers" starting their own overlays in projects they manage. I just can't imagine a dumping ground such as this being a good idea, ever. It would require an enormous amount of manpower. How exactly can 2 people possibly cover the manpower needed for this when the *entire developer pool* cannot handle it now in bugzilla? > I'm asking because I think that this project is a Good Thing, if it > gets handled correctly.

There simply isn't the manpower to do it properly *and* officially. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
