I think that is a good idea. It's a perfect google SoC project as it has a= =20 clear boundary. Limited prerequisite knowledge is required, and it is=20 something we would really benefit from. Paul ps. Perhaps the SoC project could include fixing up the migration tools=20 (for example including the hypothesis that all ebuilds for a package=20 descend from eachother) and other coding necessary to make things work=20 perfectly. =2D-=20 Paul de Vrieze Gentoo Developer Mail: pauldv@gentoo.org Homepage: http://www.devrieze.net --nextPart2345645.geTp5LUxyx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2-ecc0.1.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEWHs7bKx5DBjWFdsRAqW7AKCwin8IdFr8F7BU65EAEey/wI7sjgCdFIDD 3nfLLo0x00sdKPouxPFHPgQ= =8Q55 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2345645.geTp5LUxyx-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
