You've put a lot of theory in here but not really a single sentence |
| 40 |
on what needs to be done. I'm aware that some people used to be working |
| 41 |
on adding some OBS ebuilds to Gentoo but I've no clue about their goal. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Long story short, if it requires changes to the ebuild format, then you |
| 44 |
have to list them and convince us. If it doesn't, then you are free to |
| 45 |
play with OBS any way you like. |
