Well, I don't really know much about creating a herd, but I can shoot |
| 8 |
off an email to gentoo-core stating my intentions of creating one, plus |
| 9 |
a call out to the maintainers of said packages. I would like to change |
| 10 |
one package. We have been using the (dated) Red Hat kudzu on our CDs, |
| 11 |
and I have an ebuild all ready for the Knoppix kudzu (kudzu-knoppix), |
| 12 |
which I think would probably be a better solution, since I'm sure |
| 13 |
they've already patched up a lot of stuff to make it better than the |
| 14 |
<kudzu-1.0 we're running with. |

Well, I did all the ebuilds yesterday, so that's not a big deal... ;] |

I would think all that really needs to be done would be for me to get |
| 22 |
permissions from the maintainers and to commit them all. That and the |
| 23 |
actual herd creation. |
