Hereby I would like to publicly apologize for not having looked through |
| 20 |
bugzilla's database for a previous committed bogofilter ebuild. |
| 21 |
Mea culpa, I really didn't know about Evan's ebuilds. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
As I told Evan in a personal mail the only difference being worth a look |
| 24 |
in the ebuilds I sent is a fix for a typo in bogofilter's man pages, |
| 25 |
which show '-n' and '-N' as command line options for non-spam, when the |
| 26 |
really are '-h' and '-H' - for ham mail -. Other than that, they're |
| 27 |
basically the same. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
As I also said in that e-mail I sent to Evan, don't you think a better |
| 30 |
interface to commit new ebuilds, being considered for inclusion in the |
| 31 |
official tree, or just to use by those willing to try out something too |
| 32 |
unstable - e.g. CVS versions -, might be nice? Something like a ebuilds |
| 33 |
'alt' repository where non-core Gentoo developers might send theirs, as |
| 34 |
core developers might have their non-official packages, kde-cvs or |
| 35 |
gnome-2 in the past come to my mind. |
| 36 |
I find bugzilla a bit awkward for this task, it is right to file bugs, |
| 37 |
but to search new ebuilds to try or even to be aware of those new |
| 38 |
submissions has ample space for improvement, IMHO. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
What do you think? Shall we try setting up something for the task? One |
| 41 |
could always put up his/her web page with non-official ebuilds, but |
| 42 |
something to join efforts would be nicer. |
