As long as it's made for pulling single ebuilds (and their |
| 8 |
support files), i think it's really helpfull. |

It's exactly the same as downloading single ebuilds from |
| 11 |
Bugzilla just without the pain of using bugzilla for it. |
| 12 |
While Bugzilla is fine for handling bugs, i think it's |
| 13 |
annoying to use for maintaining and downloading ebuilds. |
| 14 |

The "danger" of people breaking something is exactly the |
| 16 |
same though. I don't see a difference between downloading |
| 17 |
an ebuild with bugzilla and fetching them with svn. |

What i would fear is a full overlay with eclasses and many |
| 20 |
other things the user didn't cherry pick. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I would mostly like a method to easily add external ebuilds |
| 23 |
to my own overlay. |
| 24 |
When that source allows people to maintain their ebuilds in |
| 25 |
a simple way, it's also better. Raising the annoyance bar |
| 26 |
for handling ebuilds doesn't increase their quality. |
