We have decided to close the Lisp umbrella project [1]. Its subprojects |
| 2 |
Common Lisp, Scheme, and Emacs already moved to the top level. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
We will keep the #gentoo-lisp IRC channel and the lisp overlay; |
| 5 |
ownership of the latter will be changed to Common Lisp and Scheme. |
| 6 |
(The Emacs project has always used its own overlay.) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Rationale: There is little value in having an umbrella project for Lisp |
| 9 |
related things. The few common resources don't justify having a project. |
| 10 |
The Lisp project neither has any members other than those inherited |
| 11 |
from its subprojects, and there are no packages with lisp@g.o |
| 12 |
as maintainer. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
(As a general note, most umbrella projects seem to be a remnant of the |
| 15 |
old CVS pages or even of GLEP 4 metaprojects [2], where projects were |
| 16 |
organised as a hierarchical tree. In the wiki, the structure is mostly |
| 17 |
flat, with the occasional subproject to provide additional structure.) |
