The outcome was that=20 vanilla-sources is just as Linus intended. If Gentoo did anything to it, it wouldn't be vanilla any longer. Yes, it should be kept. We should not force users to learn git or tar. I agree git or a tarball of vanilla-sources is faster and more efficient but that's not a reason to drop it. By the same argument we could drop linux-firmware too. There are probably other packages that only install whatever they fetch. Could they be dropped? --=20 Regards, Roy Bamford (Neddyseagoon) a member of elections gentoo-ops forum-mods arm64= --=-CndlGmgDYygJroavKWVz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEEsOrcx0gZrrCMwJzo/xJODTqpeT4FAl4QeigACgkQ/xJODTqp eT7gVAf5AfYd4hgdPcJWUltUznejAYPVd6cH6lQMW+oB7kMWGwyLXWK0n2UE4pSV OkB7Enn5GdDdDOZjpqcyJ454Hp7BZFPCmWDUq+CXv+qOBNOSMH05b4suO3c3UqIi 0R7QynBqr+cOY9etChOMFZOUQR83axtHZ37nOg4++0YQEzSFyV1abWUjcYiD7PWH NJibzMxrDsUBcgAJaAr6qE/rDYKF3w7nVP3ZBbIS2C9nmbuWm6gZtmb28l8WgtQt /zN5xEw3bP8GMMZ6esT5Qw73ob2E8vJ9bgsoBKtt43DWxsN5hBny0sig4saLJ1d/ JThB762HbTcsVY/InOv6s8K7ABgoUw== =V0Zj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-CndlGmgDYygJroavKWVz--
