To drive the project forward and find cross-distro acceptance, the=20 packagemap repo/server has to be the authorative source of information=20 for distributions that participate. However, I see advantages in a distributed model to collect the=20 information. Gentoo developers could feed tags into the=20 metadata.xml of the tree and do not need to sign up to commit to the=20 third-party packagemap repository. Synchronizing changed tags to the=20 packagemap repository should be easy to automate. Changes in the=20 repository could be propagated back to the tree by a designated team of=20 Gentoo developers interested in the packagemap project. I have a feeling other distributions might also favor a model where they=20 have more control about the data without giving all their devs access=20 to one big repo.
