Perhaps some concrete examples of packages you have in mind might be |
| 9 |
useful. I list in the footnote[1] a couple I originally merged from |
| 10 |
sunrise, that are now in-tree. I that the type of package you had in |
| 11 |
mind? What /about/ sunrise packages? Will you be working with them to |
| 12 |
bring "popular" packages from there in-tree too? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Of course in your case the ebuilds aren't in the tree yet, but bug |
| 15 |
numbers for apps you believe fit the "popular" description might be |
| 16 |
useful. "Popular packages" is a nebulous enough term on its own, that |
| 17 |
some examples might help. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Also, an example or two of what you might consider a borderline case, |
| 20 |
that you might consider adding if the load on the proposed project wasn't |
| 21 |
too high already, but would reject if it was. Feel free to add comments |
| 22 |
or explanations on how you came to that conclusion, both for the popular |
| 23 |
and borderline examples, as well, if you think it necessary. |

The other one was www-plugins/swfdec-mozilla and its dep media-libs- |
| 30 |
swfdec, which I had some trouble with and eventually unmerged in favor of |
| 31 |
a couple of youtube downloaders, since youtube was what I mainly used |
| 32 |
swfdec for anyway. |
