14 Hello Mr. Grozin,
15
16
17 today you removed the hard masks. However, I think that we should p.mask
18 them again, temporarily, for the following reasons:
19
20 1) the asdf-2 ebuild is not well tested. It fails on make doc if
21 texi2pdf is not available, also needs sbcl at the moment (try to build
22 it without sbcl on the system, it will fail). And these, just for the
23 start.
24
25 2) we don't know yet the impact asdf-2 will cause in other packages in
26 the tree. For example clisp is pulled by xindy pulled by texlive (a
27 package all gentoo latex guys have in their system).
28
29 3) we don't know yet the impact this update will cause in the overlay.
30 And there are still people using it.
31
32 4) I don't like at all, having these random bash functions in the
33 ebuilds instead of an eclass.
34
35 It's better to work together in the next days and push in the tree the
36 common-lisp-3 eclass, and also do more testing.
37
38 I'm considering p.masking again these packages in the next hours.

40 Merry Christmas,
