Now, those packages are currently herdless because i'm not sure what strategy should be taken when assigning them to herds. There are two options regarding that: a) Creating a general i18n herd for all i18n-related packages (the cjk herd could probably be merged into that). b) Creating specialized herds for each region/language group - ie. middle-east, cjk, anything else? I think option B is better because, for example, i've absolutely no knowledge of CJK, so if someone will ask me something about one of the cjk packages (because he'll see me as a maintainer for the i18n herd) i'll have to redirect him to someone else in the herd == inefficency. Your comments are more than welcome. - -- Tal Peer Gentoo Developer Public Key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x253D2947 Key Fingerprint: C0B1 D91D 7323 6C0F 227A CBD6 D635 E53D 253D 2947 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/ksqm1jXlPSU9KUcRAhDUAJ4/iqVNBrfiqxxq7M38Sg+qMRdsDgCdGFFw 16zKYhoZVeegYS/hl9rUmgg= =a8P+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
