Hey guys, |
2 |
|
3 |
Every other day on IRC, I see people arguing about touching each |
4 |
others packages, despite our policies against it. (Sometimes it's even |
5 |
me who's doing the touching!) My instinctive reaction is always, |
6 |
"can't everybody calm down and be happy somebody is doing your work |
7 |
for you?" The answer to this question is, of course, that it depends |
8 |
who the developer is and how competent you are. |
9 |
|
10 |
So, nothing new here. I don't want to bikeshed about it. Business as usual. |
11 |
|
12 |
I thought I'd do something loose and informal to rectify the problem. |
13 |
See my package-policy.txt on my developer space: |
14 |
|
15 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~zx2c4/package-policy.txt |
16 |
|
17 |
Do what this says, and everything will be good. I encourage other |
18 |
developers to post package-policy.txt with the same URL scheme. This |
19 |
is a nice loose and informal stopgap solution. If others want to |
20 |
follow suit, great. If not, welp, there mine is. |
21 |
|
22 |
Moving forward, we can come up with a more formal solution for this. |
23 |
I'LL START A NEW THREAD FOR THAT; DON'T REPLY HERE ON THAT TOPIC. |
24 |
|
25 |
Thanks, |
26 |
