Um, there are numerous "new" not-in-portage-tree ebuilds submitted to bz which have been assigned to teams. However, they may still languish. They were assigned by the wranglers, and not improperly. Yet, for many reasons, the bugs wait. So, will there be a mechanism for a contributor to get an ebuild uploaded to sunrise in this circumstance? I would also suggest having some sort of review process for inclusion of m-n/m-w bugs. Some may not have any relevance (i.e. the program is no longer supported, or the upstream project has been incorporated into a new one, or the version of dated). Doing a blanket import of m-w bugs could make quite a mess of things IMO. One of the terrific benefits of sunrise will be the cleaning out of bugzilla. Nuking open bugs is an especially satisfying experience! Lastly, what about user contributions? Will users require some kind of sponsorship in order to have their ebuilds posted? What will the procedure be (or did I miss it in one of the hundreds of emails)? -- Peter -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
