Dismissing does not fix PMS. Since PMS requires some specific knowledge about package manager (PM) internals only few people can decide on this matters and do actual work. I think what council could do is to formalize PMS process and thus move from this "draft" point. By formalizing I mean the following: call for and form PMS team. Team must represent portage developers and could paludis and pkgcore. All suggestions for PMS draft must go into bugzilla and after patch for PMS is created PMS team members should vote on that patch. After voting patch is applied or discarded. Until there are open bugs in bugzilla council can not approve PMS. Of course this is just a sketch of idea. I'm not expanding it and not trying to discuss details at the moment as to make it viable at least one portage developer should support this idea... But even without portage developers this process at least could clear a bit the situation. For example, currently, PMS team does not include anybody from portage team - official PM team and thus this team can't represent Gentoo interests. So until team which will represent Gentoo interests arise, they'll work on PMS bugs and tell us that PMS is ready we should not spend our time discussing PMS and trying to approve it. -- Peter. -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
