1 Hello!
2
3 So, I can't find any documentation about this; nor can I find a
4 best-practices list. Can we add broken ebuilds in-tree as long as they
5 are package.masked? automagic deps, wrong deps, missing deps, file
6 collisions, etc etc? Even if it makes the ebuild completely unusable
7 by itself?

9 If yes:
10
11 So we can add completely broken and useless stuff to tree as long as
12 it's package.masked?
13
14 If no:
15
16 What's the minimum amount of "working-ness" that an ebuild must have
17 to be added to tree? Who decides this? The QA team?
