Except the metastructure document actually has zero bearing in this, since it wasn't a proposal of how to maintain packages. It was a proposal on how we would try to organize ourselves. A herd plays no part in this organization, which is why it wasn't mentioned then, and shouldn't be mentioned now. > I think the way forward would be to have this clarification (of herds > vs teams) added to the metastructure document, and then for us to sort > out the metadata.xml files on the back of that. >=20 > I guess any change to that document should be subject to a vote. I sincerely hope that we do not change that document, which was quite good at pertaining only to what was necessary, into trying to be some form of document to pertain to everything. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-wj4kNHgrZp8HmGYVvzzE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEUQ55kT4lNIS36YERArv6AJ0aOySL1Aij8wtDC7LPT7FcwwFCQwCfQO8M 95UEeJrB2xoTSAy4hNwO6rQ= =SsgQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-wj4kNHgrZp8HmGYVvzzE-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
