Hi, |
| 2 |
Both the current discussion as well as the overlay docs don't seem to |
| 3 |
cover the support topic as far i could see. This is an issue for us |
| 4 |
forums people though - our daily work involves classifying misplaced |
| 5 |
threads into officially supported (read: in the tree) and unsupported |
| 6 |
(someone installed some ebuild he found somewhere else) threads. The |
| 7 |
latter go into the Unsupported Software forum [1]. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
For now, we've added "Bugs/errors caused by ebuilds from |
| 10 |
overlays.gentoo.org are covered by this forum, too." to the |
| 11 |
description of this forum because we think the primary objective of |
| 12 |
the forums is supporting officially supported ebuilds - those in the |
| 13 |
tree. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I'm not saying it has to be/stay this way forever, but to be honest we |
| 16 |
are quite taken by surprise to have a new project appear that is both |
| 17 |
official(?) and unsupported(?) at the same time. So if at some time |
| 18 |
you intend to point the users of the overlay at the forums, please let |
| 19 |
them know the US-forum is the place to be. |

cheers, |
