Why should gentoo do it? While this statement likely will be twisted |
| 21 |
around as "gentoo developers don't want enterprise", what I'm asking |
| 22 |
specifically is why pulling and maintaining a subset of ebuilds is |
| 23 |
something that must exist within gentoo. We *do* have projects |
| 24 |
external to gentoo. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Either way, 'open-mindness' bit is off- I'm mentioning this |
| 27 |
alternative due to the fact that it's not a matter of 'open-mindness', |
| 28 |
matter of interest. Can't make folk do what they don't give a damn |
| 29 |
about. |

If y'all spawn an enterprise distro of gentoo you can run it however |
| 37 |
you want. Sub project or external, your stuff, your decisions- |
| 38 |
reaction was to y'all pushing that management structure upon gentoo as |
| 39 |
a whole, rather then the folk who desire it. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Meanwhile, either we can discuss glep19 specifics, or continue working |
| 42 |
over an issue that bluntly doesn't matter right now- management |
| 43 |
structure matters not if y'all don't have the basic technical reqs |
| 44 |
nailed down. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
So can we stick tech crap at this point please? |
