That is what -dev is for, mostly. Big changes in policy do not happen |
| 9 |
overnight, so dont worry that one day we use ebuilds and the next day we |
| 10 |
use RPMs. |

Such questions would be best asked to the portage maintainers directly, |
| 16 |
afaik there is an IRC channel for portage alone. |

Cause it hasn't been discussed for a long time and i think part of it |
| 23 |
went on -dev back then (or anyway, some public ml). This was before i |
| 24 |
became a dev and i know about it (it's also on the website i think). |

I think -core looks a lot more interesting from the outside then when |
| 30 |
you are actually on it. I'd say the best way to keep informed is to hang |
| 31 |
around the dev irc channel, you pick up most (even -core) stuff there. |

It doesn't impair the community either. And if you feel a need to be on |
| 38 |
it, do your best. Help us close some bugs and such and you will be |
| 39 |
recognized and picked up as a dev. |
