I still think there's a place and purpose for both overlays. Let me |
| 23 |
recall you the reasons for them: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
* kde-testing - the purpose of this overlay is to be a stage for |
| 26 |
ebuilds going into the tree and for having "reasonably" stable ebuilds |
| 27 |
for packages that we don't want to put in the tree. For instance, the |
| 28 |
bumps for 4.1.4 and 4.1.86/90 should be done here. |
| 29 |
* kde-crazy - overlay for hosting the live ebuilds and for doing the |
| 30 |
really "wacky" experiments (features for long term). As an example, work |
| 31 |
for 4.3 snapshots should start here. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I think most of your problems are happening because having eclasses in |
| 34 |
any of the overlays makes things harder. The reason any eclass should be |
| 35 |
added to the kde-testing overlay is to get it final testing before |
| 36 |
moving into the tree. Any major change on eclasses should start on |
| 37 |
kde-crazy. |
