Mart, |
34 |
|
35 |
I'm against for many of the reasons AllanJB outlined. There is no point |
36 |
in adding more unmaintained packages to the tree. Over time, the |
37 |
average quality of the tree will suffer. |
38 |
|
39 |
We could use user contributed ebuilds attached to bugs as a way to |
40 |
bring Sunrise to the contributors attention just by posting a comment |
41 |
to the bug. If the contributor follows up, we get another user |
42 |
maintained ebuild in Sunrise, which is good, as the current developers |
43 |
don't have to do all the work. We already know some Sunrise |
44 |
contributors become developers so perhaps we can use this as a way to |
45 |
attract more contributors (both users and developers). |
46 |
|
47 |
Its probably a bad idea to send all the bugspam at the same time, |
48 |
Sunrise might be overwhelmed, which would be bad for Sunrise and user |
49 |
contributors who would feel let down |
