Trying not to let this idea die, as I still think it might be good in the l= ong=20 run, especially if there's a way to get them collected in a single place.=20 Right now the main problem is that they are spread across projects (at leas= t=20 video/sound projects). Possible solutions I thought of: 1) have every herd controlled by a project, so that the maintainers' guides= =20 can be committed there; it would be difficult to find the maintainer's guid= e=20 for a package this way; 2) have a single repository for maintainers' guides that does not belong to= =20 other projects; 3) have a single repository for *every* maintainers' guide. The problem with 1 and 2 is that the maintainers' guides would be difficult= to=20 locate in the mess of projects. The problem of 3 is that we have already=20 complex maintainers' guides such as xine's and the one spyderous wrote for= =20 X11 herd, that might be difficult to fit in a single organization.. To solve 1's and 2's problem, the solution could be adding a =20 tag to metadata.xml, that carries the URL to the maintainer's guide for the= =20 package. It would also make simpler, for example, the case where a single=20 guide is used for more than one package (see always xine's). =2D-=20 Diego "Flameeyes" Petten=C3=B2 - http://dev.gentoo.org/~flameeyes/ Gentoo/ALT lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, AMD64, Sound, PAM, KDE --nextPart1243052.QcIQCMY9ur Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDifAle2h1+2mHVWMRArNDAKDWhalqHhYtJBW/ZFQ48AhDoD+FaACfePa9 +Pq/gTmRAgfKAQzL6Ik/GWU= =Vj1n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1243052.QcIQCMY9ur-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
