Things seem to be progressing nicely on this front. We have answers to |
2 |
the questions people had and they look satisfactory to me. |

One thing that I think would be valuable is a document that explains |
5 |
the average dev how to make his/her ebuilds prefix compliant with |
6 |
links to more details when necessary. I understand that there's the |
7 |
trivial situations and the less trivial ones. In the latter case it |
8 |
would be nice to explain why the case isn't trivial and how to fix it. |
9 |
Using python as an example could be one way to do it. I'm thinking of |
10 |
something practical that could possibly be patched into devmanual. If |
11 |
such a document already exists then please just point us to it. |

Great, thanks. If you can have it ready some time before the meeting |
22 |
so that all devs can get a chance to review it before the council |
23 |
members vote on it that will be even better. If you need help don't |
24 |
hesitate to contact me. I'll try and look for the right people to help |
25 |
you depending on what you need. |

Could you give some examples of when it is absolutely necessary? |
