21 You need a glep here frankly; per the norm, if you want things to move
22 faster, then put in time- aka, generate a patch against PMS, write a
23 patch for portage, etc, you get the idea. The bit re: a PMS patch is
24 mostly that in looking at your proposal... well, I personally don't
25 want to write that patch (nor do I suspect ulm/ciaran do either).
26
27 One thing to note; this has been posted for all of 2-3 days; that's
28 not exactly much time for 1) people to comment, 2) people to frankly
29 comprehend the quite dense description you wrote.
30
31 Please write a glep covering details of the implementation,
32 background, preferablly why this route over others. Bluntly... clue
33 everyone else in rather than hoping they'll just sign off on a fairly
34 opaque list of things. :) It'll be useful for dev education also-
35 which is a bit of a requirement for stuff of this sort considering
36 it's not going to be a magic deploy/shit works everywhere situation I
37 suspect.
38
39 Would also be useful getting commentary from crossdev folk considering
40 your solution is intended to be (best I can tell) full cross
41 compilation support, and they've been leading that front for many,
42 many years.

44 Cheers-
