Hi, |

We're considering dropping media-gfx/bootsplash from portage. bootsplash (the |
4 |
kernel patch which gives you pretty background images on your framebuffer |
5 |
console) has an ugly design, and hasn't been developed for a while, but was |
6 |
kept up-to-date with new kernel releases, until 1 year ago. |
7 |
|
8 |
spock develops fbsplash, which is a much nicer implementation of the same |
9 |
concept, and actually works on kernels released within the last year :) |

This would also involve removing media-gfx/bootsplash-themes-livecd (newer |
13 |
fbsplash livecd themes are kept in media-gfx/splash-themes-livecd), and we'd |
14 |
probably rename bootsplash-themes to splash-themes (bootsplash-themes works |
15 |
with both bootsplash and fbsplash, so no need to drop it). |

Any comments? |
