Subject: [gentoo-dev] package.mask-ed ebuilds
Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2010 12:40:50 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <s2y8b4c83ad1004090010l905d38efge4243cecf0ece63a@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello!

So, I can't find any documentation about this; nor can I find a
best-practices list. Can we add broken ebuilds in-tree as long as they
are package.masked? automagic deps, wrong deps, missing deps, file
collisions, etc etc? Even if it makes the ebuild completely unusable
by itself?

If yes:

So we can add completely broken and useless stuff to tree as long as
it's package.masked?

If no:

What's the minimum amount of "working-ness" that an ebuild must have
to be added to tree? Who decides this? The QA team?
