It's a hard enough job just managing the ebuilds. It's also a pretty clear violation of the definition of Gentoo, "ports-based." I think it was Dylan Carson who used the phrase "out of scope." I like that. It's also pretty clear that some people think it's a good idea, or at least an idea worth discussing. I think that's great. So why don't you discuss and implement? And not here, in a place dedicated to it. I mean if you can't get MLM infrastructure in place, you might as well give up on the idea of a linux distribution. -- John White -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
