1 Hello!
2
3 My mail server is back online, so here i am again, i hope i didn't
4 miss too much of all this though :o(
5 One of the main reasons that i asked on IRC if we could have our
6 crew.gentoo.org/verwilst or people.gentoo.org/verwilst dirs, is for
7 stuff like this... The ebuilds that would be posted on each dev's
8 'personal' site will generally be of much better quality then loose
9 ebuilds found anywhere else... Having those 'pre-portage' ebuilds helps
10 us refine and test the ebuilds without making some user messing up his
11 system if he/she decides to ignore all the warnings and disclaimers..
12 For the KDE3 ebuilds, if danarmak and me use them before KDE3 final is
13 released, we'll have a rock-solid eclass implementation of the multi-.
14 KDE's and qt's... ( And ofcourse our bugreports to KDE will help
15 producing a better KDE 3 release, but that's another story ;o)
16 But gentoo-users should have the option of using stable ebuilds for
17 their alpha/beta software, or they'll make their own ebuilds, and break
18 maybe even more on their system :)
