I'm aware of the point of thin-Manifests (It's a long time running |
| 7 |
conversation), however it seems to be something more to the order of |
| 8 |
usage for distribution, in other words, overlays and tree's like |
| 9 |
regen2's and funtoo's. if you aren't distributing the tree for user |
| 10 |
consumption... then you'll still have to generate full manifests for |
| 11 |
rsync, it would seem easy and more space, processor effective to make |
| 12 |
it like metadata and cron generation, dev's don't really need them |
| 13 |
when hacking ebuilds do they? they're just a security/integrity |
| 14 |
measure for end users. I suppose the reason for devs to use them is |
| 15 |
they would be using the git tree to update their own systems. |
