It might be worthwile to prototype this functionality as an
|
| 16 |
external service.
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
1. It should be easier to crowdsource the tags definitions, assignments
|
| 19 |
and QA and therefore helps to build consistent database faster and
|
| 20 |
easier.
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
2. decouples tagging from maintaining a package, therefore makes more
|
| 23 |
community driven and prevents "THAT'S MY PACKAGE, DON'T TOUCH IT YOU
|
| 24 |
SCHMUCK" type of quarrel.
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
3. Classic prototyping benefit - might identify problematic areas for
|
| 27 |
implementation.
|

The downside is the implementation might be more time consuming
|
| 31 |
depending on architecture. Mostly due to 1. I guess but that could be
|
| 32 |
handled by using git and pull requests for crowdsource and then the
|
| 33 |
implementation should be basicly no different from using portage
|
| 34 |
itself, besides using different VCS.
