What's this got to do with anything we're discussing? PMS isn't a "downstream". It's what the Council decided is allowed in the tree. Or are you suggesting the Council is somehow a downstream that is blocking progress? I don't follow what you're implying here. > >> And their lack of time (to be polite) should not block general > >> progress in gentoo. > > > > > > Perhaps these basic notions of how Gentoo development works > > You certainly are not an authority when it comes to that question... Well no, but I did create and write large parts of the devmanual, and I proposed and wrote the original developer quiz, and was involved in the original decision to move to a documented package format, and wrote part of the GLEP governing how the Council operates, and wrote a large part of PMS, and designed or codesigned a fair number of the new features that have been introduced to the format since then, and have a few GLEPS with my name on them. So I'd hope I can safely claim that I'm not prone to some of basic misunderstandings about how Gentoo works that have been exhibited in this thread. -- Ciaran McCreesh
