Please, do not assume our users being stupid. They know that they are using an ebuild from the sunrise overlay with zero support. They deliberately typed "svn co http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/sunrise/category/application" "emerge application" And also there are only applications from maintainer-wanted or maintainer-needed allowed in the overlay. Because packages are not supposed to overwrite files from other ebuilds it is unlikely that they can cause any damage to applications that have not been directly installed from the overlay. > Also some warning that an overlay may > break the tree or fubar the users system That is not the intention of the overlay. Everyone can help fixing breakage, it is not like with the current tree, where you have apps broken for a few days, weeks or even months because the maintainer is unreachable. With fixes (by users) spread all over bugzilla. It is designed to be more open and more easily fixable. -Stefan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
