We do maintain many multimedia packages on qting-edge so those = can=20 me moved to multimedia overlay since I think it is more appropriate. @Thomas, I think you missed the "bleeding edge" part of Ben's e-mail :). By= =20 "bleeding edge" we mean live, snapshots or even version bumps for many=20 packages that are not ready or well tested to be on portage tree yet. Sunri= se=20 philosophy is to NOT include ebuilds for packages that are already on porta= ge=20 so we can't use sunrise as an alternative. =2D-=20 Markos Chandras (hwoarang) Gentoo Linux Developer [KDE/Qt/Sound/Sunrise] Web: http://hwoarang.silverarrow.org --nextPart2097837.r6exiDsUXc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkqBLRMACgkQ9/cejkQaxBC8FgCeI2+aA62SB+1kkr1LSUGVbRce F2AAn2AHgF7OtVdN06h9UZFehb2Vw328 =9eg8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2097837.r6exiDsUXc--
