Which one is easier now? Note: And i am omitting all that part of who are maintaining the ebuilds?, how they are maintaining them?, what kind of ebuilds they are maintaining?, and many many other details that probably immediately kill the assumption of a big overlay being easier than 35, 40, 90, 500 smaller overlays. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
