(not saying there isn't, btw) This is a bad idea, IMHO. I used to think more in favor of it, but if someone really wants an ebuild that isn't in portage they can very easily search bugzilla, download the ebuild, and put it in their overlay. What would be more beneficial is if there was a repository where unaccepted ebuilds go after a period of time (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0017.html). That way, people who want to use those ebuilds can download them from there. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
