OK, I'll speak up. I plan on using overlay.gentoo.org for the perl team |
| 9 |
overlay repository. dev-perl alone has 600+ ebuilds - we are at the |
| 10 |
point where we are only adding those modules that have specific support |
| 11 |
requirements (makes foo work, etc). But there are plenty of packages |
| 12 |
we'd love to add, but don't have the manpower/resources to do it. |
| 13 |
Catalyst comes to mind - awesome take on the rails phenom, but the size |
| 14 |
and volume makes it tough to fit into our tree, and its one of the first |
| 15 |
things I plan on putting up in the overlay. As for the next bit: |

I don't have the resources to support it somewhere, simply put. I don't |
| 24 |
have a server somewhere I can point users to, or the kind of friends |
| 25 |
that will run an open svn (or whatever) on their boxes and host my |
| 26 |
overlays for me. Plus, this gives me/us a place to combine our |
| 27 |
resources, our overlays, into a cohesive whole. Some of it may make it |
| 28 |
in the tree one day; some not; some of it has too small an audience to |
| 29 |
add the requirements of maintainership to it - but at least it would be |
| 30 |
going somewhere. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Just my two cents. Not sure about sunrise, but I'm all behind the overlays. |
