What exactly is wrong with the current cvs attic space? I've salvaged |
| 17 |
old ebuilds and it was a completely painless process. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Things that have been treecleaned were not just haphazardly removed, |
| 20 |
there is typically very good (often security or complete build failure |
| 21 |
related) reasons for this to happen. Running an overlay of old, |
| 22 |
outdated, unbuildable, security vulnerable software... I know there is |
| 23 |
no formal process for rejecting a gentoo project but even this idea |
| 24 |
makes me want to get council approval for an extension to the gentoo |
| 25 |
project guidelines. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If users want to salvage things from the cvs attic and put them into |
| 28 |
SUNRISE after fixing them up I'm fine with it, but the whole idea of |
| 29 |
this is bad for gentoo developers, bad for gentoo users, bad for gentoo |
| 30 |
image, I just don't see a single advantage to this and so many |
| 31 |
disadvantages. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Please, this needs to not happen. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Thanks, |
