Paludis is not a Gentoo project. There is no disagreement there. This |
| 15 |
discussion is about PMS, not Paludis. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
As for "hosted on Gentoo infrastructure" and "controlled by |
| 18 |
Gentoo", I'd like to point you to other projects that started out the |
| 19 |
same way: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
* eselect, a Gentoo project |
| 22 |
* devmanual, a Gentoo project |
| 23 |
* the Gentoo forums |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Note that the first two also had initial non-public restricted |
| 26 |
releases in the same style being used for PMS, and both ended up |
| 27 |
benefiting greatly from it. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Also note that the traditional "open up discussions and source to |
| 30 |
everyone straight away" alternative to eselect ended up being a hideous |
| 31 |
XML mess that never got anywhere, at least in part due to its |
| 32 |
development model. |
