This email is to gauge the opinion of everyone that is currently on the |
2 |
QA team as to the matter of supporting other package managers with our tree. |
3 |
|
4 |
As I see it, the tree is for Portage, and it is nice if it works with |
5 |
other package managers (such as pkgcore or paludis), but I do not |
6 |
believe we should be making changes, of any kind, just to improve how |
7 |
their programs work. I have no problems with rewrites of Portage, but |
8 |
making changes to the live tree for something other than Portage does |
9 |
not seem to make sense to me. If we decide to recognize rewrites as |
10 |
official alternatives, then making changes makes sense, but until that |
11 |
point, I don't believe it does. |
12 |
|
13 |
I would appreciate feedback on this so that we can come to some sort of |
14 |
agreement on how situations such as this should be handled. |

Thanks, |
