I.e., 'managing=20 > developers.' I'm not sure that's entirely correct. I seem to remember at least one devrel dev stating that when it comes to devs who violate technical policies (not using repoman, repeatedly breaking sections of the tree, etcetera) that enforcement should be left up to the appropriate managers, not devrel. The argument was that devrel devs are often not experts in the technical aspects, so it's hard for them to adjudicate effectively. =20 Of course, I could be entirely mistaken, but I know that I'm not the only person who has this impression. -g2boojum- --=20 Grant Goodyear=09 Gentoo Developer g2boojum@gentoo.org http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76 --rmUrFcWP4LYae1gV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDJwELptxxUuD2W3YRAkk8AJ9z9q0xwdI2Fss2WrbI3B6nXFNQ1gCfZ+Ix SsXBWp9j960KOVIHyTJ91JA= =qLi+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --rmUrFcWP4LYae1gV-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
