There was a thread a while back about mix-in support and I think there |
2 |
was genuine interest. For the most part we just need to do the work, |
3 |
and the first step is identifying blockers. If some end up involving |
4 |
PMS/etc then we may need to get the Council involved. |

Rather than hijacking every @system change discussion with this, I |
7 |
created a tracker at: |

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523036 |

If somebody beats me to it, feel free to dig through the past |
11 |
discussions and add blockers. I know updating eselect is necessary. |
12 |
I suspect portage will be fine if we just turn /etc/make/profile into |
13 |
a directory and have it inherit other profiles. Actually creating |
14 |
some mix-in profiles will need to be done, but probably not in the |
15 |
main tree until we have more of the blockers resolved. We also need |
16 |
to see how other package managers handle this, and work with them, |
17 |
possibly including a PMS change. |

I'd like to get to a point where we can all have our cakes and eat it |
20 |
too, and not have endless arguments about whether openssh or whatever |
21 |
belongs in @system. |
