| OK, I'll speak up. I plan on using overlay.gentoo.org for the perl team |
| 10 |
| overlay repository. |

You're not alone. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The webapps overlay contains ebuilds that may never make it into the tree. |
| 17 |
We have a lot of packages that we maintain, but which don't pass our |
| 18 |
upstream requirements [1] at this time. We're doing our best to work with |
| 19 |
$upstream on resolving such issues, but we're never going to achieve a 100% |
| 20 |
success rate. |

Chris: Gentoo infrastructure's there as a service to the Gentoo project as a |
| 23 |
whole, not just the Portage tree. If folks are running an authorised Gentoo |
| 24 |
project (and, right now, the rules say that anyone can setup a project |
| 25 |
without requiring anyone else's permission; i.e. folks can authorise their |
| 26 |
own projects), and infra's able to provide what they're asking for, then I |
| 27 |
can't see how it matters whether or not a project is using infrastructure to |
| 28 |
host packages that'll never make it into the tree. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
If you want to go down that route, then I think you should be working within |
| 31 |
the project's processes (specifically, via GLEPs or Council resolutions) to |
| 32 |
change our governing rules. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Until the rules change, I think this _specific_ argument against Project |
| 35 |
Sunrise is _completely_ bogus. You're entitled to your opinion, but folks |
| 36 |
are equally entitled to totally ignore it. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I _do_ think it's reasonable to want to know that whatever's being done with |
| 39 |
Gentoo infrastructure is being done responsibly. That's the complaint Brix |
| 40 |
brought to me, and it's what we're now waiting on the Council to resolve - |
| 41 |
unless it can be resolved between yourselves and Project Sunrise before then. |
