(PS: Bug #506114 could be relevant to your item) Same here, let's take this a step further and extend this to profiles. A policy inspired by bug #435094 and bug #506142. > Motion: "Significant changes to virtuals are to be discussed (via > mailing list or bugzilla) with all the maintainers and/or herds which > maintain packages those virtuals depend on." Motion: "Significant changes to profiles are to be discussed (via mailing list or bugzilla) with all the maintainers and/or herds that rely on what gets changed in the profiles." > Discussion: "Like eclasses, changes to virtuals can affect all the > packages which depend on them. Changing existing virtuals, removing > virtuals or adding new ones affect the packages they depend on.

For instance, adding or removing a mask or force can result in something becoming forced or optional. If something is assumed to be forced, or optional; it can result in breakage, we would like to prevent huge breakage. When such change is proposed, all maintainers affected need to be included in the discussion." Concern: "Unawareness, possible breakage and a lack of cooperation." -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
