I think it should be all in a central place possibly saved with GPG-Keys that need to be signed by trusted persons so that someone can get access. Because security seems to be a big problem with a public overlay, but I think with gpg-key-based-access it could work. Also see http://aur.archlinux.org for how arch linux is already successfully doing it. Regards, Stefan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
