Hello All,

As there are more questions rose.  See you can't just think of everything, 
what you need is an ability to improve fast :-)

----------------------------------------------

Thank you for all our feedback!

In project like that I can't rush to programming it without
everyone's approval. This part of the project should have been
implemented with the first portage version by it's creator. But as
I'm not this person I'll need the expertise of the whole community.

Let's agree on following - I'll design the system in details on paper
but no code will be produced at this stage.

When it's ready (~ 1.5 months) I'll get back here and share the design
sketches with you.

Then we all review it again everyone could contribute it's own view
and part and help to avoid some design problems if there are.

I need an agreement on this stage from the list.

If you consider PortageQOS is not necessary please vote NO.
If you consider PortageQOS might have a chance and it depends on
implementation say YES.


Please vote.


If NO there is no need to spend time even on sketches.
If YES - there will be a system design ready and we could at least
imagine how it might work as a whole and benefits it might bring.


------------------------------------------------------------------

BY VOTING WE MAKE NO ASSUMPTION that the PROJECT is going to be INTEGRATED 
in GENTOO without further approval. 

At this stage the design will serve only as a demonstration that such 
system could actually be implemented and used for benefits of GENTOO 
project. 

If community finds the design worth trying we'll push it for approval 
and then it will be implemented.

------------------------------------------------------------------


PS
No way PortageQOS will work without uniform agreement. That thing
was missing from portage design from the start and now with the legacy
it's either everyone is willing to give it a try or none. I don't want
to push somebody to something he doesn't see purpose for. There are
people here who spent lots of time on the project and it might be left
as is if they don't want any change.
