1 Hello All,
2
3 As there are more questions rose. See you can't just think of everything,
4 what you need is an ability to improve fast :-)

8 Thank you for all our feedback!

10 In project like that I can't rush to programming it without
11 everyone's approval. This part of the project should have been
12 implemented with the first portage version by it's creator. But as
13 I'm not this person I'll need the expertise of the whole community.
14
15 Let's agree on following - I'll design the system in details on paper
16 but no code will be produced at this stage.
17
18 When it's ready (~ 1.5 months) I'll get back here and share the design
19 sketches with you.
20
21 Then we all review it again everyone could contribute it's own view
22 and part and help to avoid some design problems if there are.
23
24 I need an agreement on this stage from the list.
25
26 If you consider PortageQOS is not necessary please vote NO.
27 If you consider PortageQOS might have a chance and it depends on
28 implementation say YES.
29
30
31 Please vote.
32
33
34 If NO there is no need to spend time even on sketches.
35 If YES - there will be a system design ready and we could at least
36 imagine how it might work as a whole and benefits it might bring.
37
38
39 ------------------------------------------------------------------
40
41 BY VOTING WE MAKE NO ASSUMPTION that the PROJECT is going to be INTEGRATED
42 in GENTOO without further approval.
43
44 At this stage the design will serve only as a demonstration that such
45 system could actually be implemented and used for benefits of GENTOO
46 project.
47
48 If community finds the design worth trying we'll push it for approval
49 and then it will be implemented.

51 ------------------------------------------------------------------

53
54 PS
55 No way PortageQOS will work without uniform agreement. That thing
56 was missing from portage design from the start and now with the legacy
57 it's either everyone is willing to give it a try or none. I don't want
58 to push somebody to something he doesn't see purpose for. There are
59 people here who spent lots of time on the project and it might be left
60 as is if they don't want any change.
