Hi,
Yes but the question is which *one* will prevail (maybe it'll be better
if two or even three are used, based on user preferences etc.).
The way to go (as it's going now) is to standardize on the ebuild format
- the *data* in portage and open place for technical merits.
IMO this is just a temporary problem from which something better will
emerge, i truly hope so. Lets hope *everybody* will learn from it ;)
PS:BTW what you/others think of user-representatives idea?
Richard/Neil&others could be ones, both have technical&personal qualities.
See prev./last GWN. There's a voting thread somewhere in forums.g.o
