I think we need both: An aggregation of unofficial and clearly stated unofficial overlays which are currently in place. And an official gentoo user and developer overlay, where ebuilds have to conform to policy. The difference between official and unofficial: bugs can be on bugs.gentoo.org or not. Then both goals would be met: Access to a gentoo-overlay for non-developers and an aggregation of all gentoo overlays out there. - Stefan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
