There is a fairly common case that a package exists that Gentoo _should_ have in the tree, but those people with the hardware are unable to become devs because of time commitments or other reasons. I see no reason a dev can't collaborate with a non-dev on testing packages. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCL5m8XVaO67S1rtsRAsBnAJ4hjuxGpxQFbucqEeDFPrcXwIFmigCgu9rF dUwrdx5deoyaBkWVi/fNv+Q= =1+qT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
