Hi, |
2 |
We held a meeting earlier this evening between User Relations, Project |
3 |
Sunrise, brix and kloeri (unfortunately wolf31o2 was unable to attend) |
4 |
to discuss the current and future direction of Project Sunrise. The |
5 |
Sunrise developers felt that they were unable to change the format of |
6 |
the project in such a way as to address the objections and concerns held |
7 |
by other developers and projects, but have instead agreed to remove the |
8 |
project page from the Gentoo website and mkove it to an entirely |
9 |
unofficial, unsupported project. If the overlay seems to keep a |
10 |
reasonable level of quality control then interested users can of course |
11 |
be referred there should they require an ebuild not available in the |
12 |
main tree, but on the understanding that it is completely unsupported by |
13 |
Gentoo. |
14 |
|
15 |
In the meantime, other developers will explore the possibility of |
16 |
promoting and extending work on proxy-maintainership of packages within |
17 |
the tree as a way to improve the management of packages in the tree |
18 |
which no developer is able to maintain properly. Most people felt that |
19 |
this would help solve the most pressing problems that Sunrise attempts |
20 |
to address, while allowing the unofficial Sunrise to continue to work |
21 |
towards its other aims. |
22 |
|
23 |
Please ignore any noise in the log, I'm afraid it is the entire log of |
24 |
the 24hours of the day and thus may contain some off-topic chit chat at |
25 |
the start and finish. |
26 |
|
27 |
Kind Regards, |
