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. -- Best regards, Igor mailto:lanthruster@gmail.com
