- the glep 54 draft was deem unspecified and about 6 month ago. Peper |
| 14 |
was asked by the council to add more details on why and how it is |
| 15 |
useful. Nobody did anything and now he isn't even more acting as proxy |
| 16 |
to Ciaranm requests. |

- since apparently some people even disliked that proposal basically |
| 19 |
because in their eyes it didn't add any to -9999 in term of |
| 20 |
functionality people suggested to use a specific property to mark |
| 21 |
ebuilds as "live" and have portage act accordingly. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
- in addition some people (me being the main writer) started discussing |
| 24 |
what really they needed that -9999 doesn't give already, focus being the |
| 25 |
ability to track live sources installed and possibly the ability to get |
| 26 |
from an ebuild using live sources to an ebuild using a snapshot |
| 27 |
automatically. Thus the half baked document I put in my devspace got in. |

If there weren't people quite vocal against -scm the council wouldn't |
| 30 |
have been involved. |
