Pretty much yes. Sorry.

Please don't cross post to mailing lists in the future.

OSS-QM strikes me personally as an odd solution. It could of course
be the right thing to do just the same, but I guess you will have to
make it more popular before it becomes a de-facto standard.

If you feel strongly about it (I guess you do) then I would suggest
that you make your own Gentoo overlay with all the packages. That way
it's be easy for anyone interested to test it out.

The concept seems interesting though and as you say, exactly what an 
overlay should help with.

I couldn't quickly find the official pages for OSS-QM, but some googling 
suggests there is a limited overlay available already here:
     http://repo.or.cz/w/oss-qm-packages.git/tree/GENTOO.overlay.master

Good luck

Good find. Enrico, I suggest you make an xml file for layman and try
to get your oosqm overlay into the layman list. If your ebuilds are
okey then that should be very quick.

Ah, yes the concept is reasonable. I would think that
working with smaller distros/elinux folks, maybe
those that have sprung up from LFS, would be a better fit
to build momentum for this idea? Then  offer it to some
'more visable' place like sourceforge (whatever) to use with
a wider audience. Maybe build a team of developers using the
system?

pfsense, m0n0wall, IPCop, .....


The devs around Gentoo (particularly embedded) seem to be
an autonomous lot with ideas and aspirations of their
own..... indeed, I think that autonomy is what drives
many groups to work as they deem best for their flock.....

Oddly enough I liked IPCop for SOHO.

This pretty much holds true about the devs that are motivated in gentoo
to work on embedded related things. Infact the 'embedded team' is a very
loose nit subset of the overall gentoo dev base. They come and go and
work on what suits them. A few of us stick around for %s reasons.

But anyway when we are talking about patching base system packages for
an unknown timeframe, it's better to have it all upstream from the
Gentoo POV. Overlays as mentioned in these threads otherwise.
