Hi, |

As you may know, beryl is a fork of the famous window- and composite-manager |
| 4 |
compiz (beryl formerly was named compiz-quinnstorm). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I'm maintaining the compiz package and at first thought I'd also take beryl, |
| 7 |
but I'd prefer if someone else could take it. My personal opinion is that I |
| 8 |
don't really see the point of this fork, but there are many users out there |
| 9 |
that seem to like it. |

There are already testing-ebuilds of beryl in the coffee-overlay |
| 12 |
(www.xgl-coffee.org). There's a guy with the nick nesl247, who regularly |
| 13 |
hangs out in #gentoo-xgl on freenode that wrote those ebuilds. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If any Gentoo dev wants to take care of beryl, please take bug 150033. You |
| 16 |
should review those ebuilds in the coffee-overlay together with nesl and then |
| 17 |
add them to portage. |
