Hi |

I think an integration would, like Hallski said, bring too many work and |
| 4 |
questions to the developers. Maybe a site that holds user-built cvs ebuilds |
| 5 |
would be nice, where the user can download the cvs ebuild he wants, |
| 6 |
on his/her own risk... Ofcourse those ebuilds have a big change of being |
| 7 |
full of bugs and/or useless, because most of the incoming ebuilds have to be |
| 8 |
debugged before being placed in portage, and the ones on the site wouldn't |
| 9 |
have had a checkup at all.. |

| 26 |
