[gentoo-dev] ebuilds for kde3 beta etc.

[Dan Armak <danarmak@gentoo.org>]

Hi everyone,

I'm working on the (final) depend.eclass version selection routine. I should 
finish it today and then I'll move on to writing ebuilds for kde3-beta1 and 
later kde3 cvs[up], which I'll put on some site for people like e.g. woodchip 
(who is working on this too from some angle) et al to use/test. So when we 
come to kde3 final we'll have long-used, well-tested ebuilds right away :-)

A few Qs:

1. If the FHS say only binary stuff goes in /opt, where would I put several 
KDEs-in-testing? /usr/kde-$ver? 

2. Where should I put these ebuilds (as patches to portage)? I curently have 
no personal site; I could use sourceforge or something similar, but a 
collection of packages for a distribution doesn't really seem to fit 
sourceforge's purposes (marginally). Maybe we should just put them on 
gentoo.org somewhere? After all, they won't be at all large. Or just do cvs 
branches :-) 

Comments, suggestions?
