1 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.

27 Kind Regards,
