Hello! |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
The inclusion of Catalyst in the main Gentoo repository would be |
| 4 |
fantastic! The overlay is currently made of 156 ebuilds; not necessarly |
| 5 |
all of them have to make it into portage, but I think at least the ones |
| 6 |
most widely used by Catalyst users should. So, probably at least |
| 7 |
100-120. Yeah, I now it's a scary amount of ebuilds... ;-) |
| 8 |
|

An important aspect will be the contact between the Catalyst community |
| 10 |
and the Gentoo Perl herd - that is, between me and the future maintainer |
| 11 |
of the ebuilds. Fact is in the Catalyst world things evolve sometimes |
| 12 |
quickly, so new modules (=>ebuilds) are added, other are deprecated, |
| 13 |
etc. It's now quite easy for me to keep the unofficial overlay |
| 14 |
up-to-date, as I'm into the Catalyst community; when (if) it'll go into |
| 15 |
portage, I guess I won't be the one to maintain the thing, but I'll be |
| 16 |
sure to "haunt" the maintainer (Antoine? ;-)) when things need to be |
| 17 |
changed. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Also, if you decide to make this thing I'll need to check all the |
| 20 |
ebuilds as some are missing the LICENSE line, and some descriptions are |
| 21 |
er... not so up-to-date. ;-) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I hope Catalyst will get this important chance to see its user base |
| 24 |
grow! |

Michele. |
