If the prefix project can put together a specification-quality description of their work, and can guarantee the level of stability that we need from EAPIs, I'd be happy to see it in PMS. It would be much more useful for package manager authors to have it documented and well defined. > > > So, really no need to discuss it further. > >=20 > > Sure there is.

The genkdesvn > project is free to split out their own PMS+kdebuild-1 fork. Forks are a last resort. For package manager authors, having a single source rather than two is much easier, and if it's possible to do things that way then we should. Forks should only happen when there's no other way of resolving it. Why should we make PMS less useful for package manager developers? --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/tYZw/0wRBfAG9Rnu1_zJP9Z Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkq1ZmEACgkQ96zL6DUtXhEkOACfUmc6ocK8rVEoQ0/L3je6BNvx WT8An2lq258MY0CeiUsd7gquKJiQqmuU =UabI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/tYZw/0wRBfAG9Rnu1_zJP9Z--
