16 Actually you can just register your herd in the gentoo cvs module
17 (/misc/herds.xml). All current herds are also in that file and biweekly
18 copied to http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/metastructure/herds/herds.xml .

20 Please however do not set up a herd for a single package. The packages in
21 a herd should have some kind of similarity. Also do not give packages to
22 a herd you are not a member of without consulting that herd.
