What exactly is wrong with the current cvs attic space? I've salvaged |
17 |
old ebuilds and it was a completely painless process. |
18 |
|
19 |
Things that have been treecleaned were not just haphazardly removed, |
20 |
there is typically very good (often security or complete build failure |
21 |
related) reasons for this to happen. Running an overlay of old, |
22 |
outdated, unbuildable, security vulnerable software... I know there is |
23 |
no formal process for rejecting a gentoo project but even this idea |
24 |
makes me want to get council approval for an extension to the gentoo |
25 |
project guidelines. |
26 |
|
27 |
If users want to salvage things from the cvs attic and put them into |
28 |
SUNRISE after fixing them up I'm fine with it, but the whole idea of |
29 |
this is bad for gentoo developers, bad for gentoo users, bad for gentoo |
30 |
image, I just don't see a single advantage to this and so many |
31 |
disadvantages. |
32 |
|
33 |
Please, this needs to not happen. |
34 |
|
35 |
Thanks, |
