We do generally coordinate with them, and per my blog I refer users |
9 |
upstream if they want more bleeding-edge experiences. The upstream |
10 |
overlay tends to be ahead in terms of releases, and the official |
11 |
Gentoo ebuilds tend to be ahead in terms of formal QA compliance and |
12 |
packaging-related bugs, deps, etc. We do share, however. The biggest |
13 |
difference right now between the two is that the Gentoo ebuilds are no |
14 |
longer using the eclass until we can get rid of 0.23 and update the |
15 |
eclass. |

I do plan to maintain a stable mythtv branch, whether in portage or in |
18 |
an overlay regardless. |
