8 First "quick step" would be to put them on gentoo-alt overlay for the first
9 rounds, I thought we already discussed that.

11 Remember the past with other devs ranting because stuff was shoved into the
12 tree without enough testing, or with an audience so limited that likely
13 nobody would use them.

15 They should get into the tree at some point, but for the first stages they are
16 better to be tested outside it.

18 About categories... a sys-* category is not the case... qt-mac would probably
19 fill into dev-libs as there's not a precise category for it (x11-libs carries
20 the x11 versions).
21 That unless someone wants to find all the gui-libs that can work without x11
22 and move all of them in a gui-libs category :)

25 P.S.: a wxMac ebuild shouldn't be difficult to prepare, either.. when I wrote
26 wxlib eclass I had that in mind...
