Well actually some of the things I've done as an "external" was maintaining a series of ebuilds for themes, splashscreens and stuff like that. I also tried submitting a couple of them initially, but as I was told, portage isn't the place where such things belong. I think this is right. There are already too many things in portage as is now, and not all users like syncing the whole tree everytime. We have patches there which are for software rarely used. Maybe adding the eclass and then maintaining an overlay for that can be better... not sync-ed but tarballed and who wants to update it, it just need to redownload it. That's just my opinion. -- Diego -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
