OK, so as my last post a few minutes ago mentioned, work finally slowed |
19 |
down on the mountains of overtime they were giving me and I'm back to |
20 |
wrap up these loose ends of threads I left marked to reply to later, even |
21 |
tho time and events moved on and the original trigger is gone. |

Are you still interested in doing something with this general ebuild |
24 |
patching framework? While the semantic-desktop use is gone, I still find |
25 |
it useful for the occasional ebuild patch, and keeping the framework |
26 |
around and working means the next time something like this comes up, |
27 |
it'll be far easier to deal with. |

And if you have a different list to take the discussion to, I'm open to |
30 |
that too. I prefer not to go just personal mail, however, because that's |
31 |
too easy to let drop and never come back to if something dumps on me like |
32 |
those mountains of overtime did. IOW, were this thread private mail, I'd |
33 |
have never done this followup... At least with the public threads, |
34 |
there's some reason to come back and wrap up, if nothing else, and that |
35 |
could ultimately mean the difference between this project going public |
36 |
and it staying just a bunch of scripts I use myself, locally. |
