My mail server is back online, so here i am again, i hope i didn't miss too much of all this though :o( One of the main reasons that i asked on IRC if we could have our crew.gentoo.org/verwilst or people.gentoo.org/verwilst dirs, is for stuff like this... The ebuilds that would be posted on each dev's 'personal' site will generally be of much better quality then loose ebuilds found anywhere else... Having those 'pre-portage' ebuilds helps us refine and test the ebuilds without making some user messing up his system if he/she decides to ignore all the warnings and disclaimers.. For the KDE3 ebuilds, if danarmak and me use them before KDE3 final is released, we'll have a rock-solid eclass implementation of the multi-. KDE's and qt's... ( And ofcourse our bugreports to KDE will help producing a better KDE 3 release, but that's another story ;o) But gentoo-users should have the option of using stable ebuilds for their alpha/beta software, or they'll make their own ebuilds, and break maybe even more on their system :) Just my 2 Eurocents -- Bart Verwilst Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop Team Gent, Belgium
