1 Looking at the number of virtualization-related packages (xen, openvz,
2 and related packages) that are in portage, and the increasing complexity
3 of these packages (which means more problems, as usual), I'm suggesting
4 that a Virtualization herd be formed to handle these packages. I was
5 also going to suggest moving virtualization-related things out of
6 app-emulation, since they don't quite fit the bill of "emulation". Maybe
7 QEMU, Bochs, and VMWare would fit, but, not quite. These are the
8 packages that would be affected:
9
10 * Xen/Xen-tools
11 * QEMU
12 * OpenVZ
13 * Bochs
14 * VMWare (workstation, server, etc)
15 * User-mode Linux
16
17 ..and the list goes on...
18
19 Just a suggestion :)
