See, since emerge -s shows the license, it would mean that portage would need to RDEPEND on the package. Because of this, everyone would have the package anyway. That and it is much simpler to commit a single license file to the tree when adding a package with a new license, then it would be to download the license package tarball, unpack it, increment the version number, copy your license in, repack it, upload it to Gentoo's mirrors, wait for it to sync, update the license package in the tree, wait for that to sync, then add your package. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-Pgl/0yjXWvc3Mq/zGupy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCsHxFkT4lNIS36YERAuCkAJ9J7f3sYLzDL04+PO8qEUeuzNq+HQCeMX9U 0nKB/pe6T9eJ1psqeTsBlZA= =2cEM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-Pgl/0yjXWvc3Mq/zGupy-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
