The immediate reference was to the PMS draft announcement on dev, which |
| 14 |
as I said is less than a week old, so unless someone is /just/ |
| 15 |
subscribing to dev now, the "too young" reference shouldn't apply to it |
| 16 |
specifically. However, there's a long and politicized history on portage |
| 17 |
features and portage alternatives going back some years and involving by |
| 18 |
dragging them in virtually any of the huge threads (say more than 50 or |
| 19 |
100 posts) going back years... to early 2004 I think at least, that being |
| 20 |
when I got involved with Gentoo, and probably earlier. Thus, the history |
| 21 |
is there for anyone wanting to trace the how and why of where we are |
| 22 |
today thru the various events and controversies leading to it. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
As for archives, in addition to the official Gentoo archive linked above, |
| 25 |
there's the gmane.org list archive, with both web and news interface |
| 26 |
options. All the mailing lists I participate in (this one included) are |
| 27 |
done using pan (my preferred NNTP client), thru the news interface and |
| 28 |
list2news gateway at news.gmane.org. It doesn't expire posts, so it's |
| 29 |
possible to subscribe to a "group" there, and pull headers back to at |
| 30 |
least the time the list was added to gmane (and often earlier, clear back |
| 31 |
to list inception, if there's some archive of posts they can be imported |
| 32 |
from). If one desires, one can then search this list of posts as |
| 33 |
downloaded from gmane, with any of the conventional local file search |
| 34 |
tools. |
| 35 |

http://gmane.org , for more information on it and a list of lists carried. |
