Ok, gentoo mailserver seems to be up again, I'll try to post :-). |

Here I want to propose an outline of a distributed ebuild processing system. |
4 |
The system is supposed to allow for faster ebuild turnover by introducing |
5 |
everybody interested into the process of ebuild review and testing while |
6 |
keeping additional stress for core group low (may be even offloading some of |
7 |
it off their shoulders). This same system will also allow for multiple |
8 |
stability levels of resultant distribution (from very conservative to |
9 |
"newest stuff included but watch out!") according to user choice. |
10 |
|
11 |
Please see my detailed discussion on how this can be done in an efficient and |
12 |
secure manner at: |

This is a continuation of a previously initiated thread on gentoo-dev |
16 |
"Unstable branch proposal - second round" (3-16), which in turn followed |
17 |
after a week earlier thread "Proposal for an unstable branch" (3-03). |

I do apologise for posting this message into two mailing lists. However I |
20 |
feel that issues discussed here will be of interest for both communities. |
21 |
Besides at this stage I am interested in receiving as much input as possible |
22 |
from both developers and regular users. |
23 |
|
24 |
I also have a question to core team. Should this proposal be entered into |
25 |
bugzilla? |
26 |
It did not make sense to do so in the early stages. Now as my view of the |
27 |
matter somewhat stabilised and I got few replies along the same lines I was |
28 |
thinking to wait for a few days (probably until 1.0 is released) evaluating |
29 |
responses and tweaking the proposal and then to register this on |
