Hi guys. |

I think you may be interested in taking a look at #1523: |
| 4 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1523 |
| 5 |
This is a proposal of ebuild submission/processing system, that involves |
| 6 |
streamlined submission, multiple stability levels, votes, even some ideas on |
| 7 |
developer ratings :). |
| 8 |
Its implementation is moving not particularly fast I should admit. Quite |
| 9 |
expectedly, as it involves modifications to numerous subsistems and |
| 10 |
resolution of other problems along the way (such as enhanced |
| 11 |
masking/stability levels). |
| 12 |
Any thoughts/comments are wellcome!. |

I'm not sure that many people would like this, |
| 27 |
because nothing stops someone to multiple rate a package. |
| 28 |
(you can make it difficult, but not so difficult). |

It could be good, and perhaps an option for |
| 31 |
non production systems used to test gentoo. But I think |
| 32 |
that a clean cut somewhere must be made. For |
| 33 |
example all packages non labeled definitive are placed |
| 34 |
in a category. When you emerge rsync |
| 35 |
the files are updated and the rating is contained in the .emerge |
| 36 |
"RATING = 5". You can browse packages, install them by hand, |
| 37 |
but they should not be used as depend for a stable ebuild. |
| 38 |
This way an administrator has more control over what gets installed |
| 39 |
and it can be a bit more relaxed when installing official packages. |
