How many people will manage the big overlay? , How many ebuilds will |
| 12 |
this overlay have? , |
| 13 |
now compare that to the amount of people maintaining the small overlays |
| 14 |
and their number |
| 15 |
of ebuilds. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Which one is easier now? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Note: And i am omitting all that part of who are maintaining the |
| 20 |
ebuilds?, how they are maintaining them?, |
| 21 |
what kind of ebuilds they are maintaining?, and many many other details |
| 22 |
that probably immediately kill |
| 23 |
the assumption of a big overlay being easier than 35, 40, 90, 500 |
| 24 |
smaller overlays. |
