Those 3 or 4 cursed/console apps vs. all GUI or all non-enduser console |
15 |
apps, big point to bring up. |

to define everything on every level, i thought that was what this whole |

TLP thing was good for. Better to have them just handled by some mail |
20 |
group or irc group, we're getting into the herds realm here. Pine is |
21 |
part of net-mail herd (or something), that is part of TLP Desktop i |
22 |
assume. So in the end we're on the same line. Getting into details |
23 |
again. Who brought this up. |

I don't know if this is all a good idea, this will result in herds |
34 |
maintaining packages for different TLP or in case this isn't allowed in |
35 |
herds not maintaining packages they have always maintained or are the |
36 |
major users of. TLP's concerning ebuild groups (as mentioned above |
37 |
-base, -server, etc) should be defined by control over herds, not over |
38 |
individual packages. |
