Right, you confuse me, but that's easy ;) I probably have a different |
| 10 |
definition of 'progressive'. But if you state you use it, you can |
| 11 |
easily close the bugs on them, I suppose? |

I would think that the current default-macos profiles should get |
| 22 |
deprecated somehow in their current form and replaced by a prefix |
| 23 |
thing... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
For me, non-collision-protect stuff is dangerous/progressive. By using |
| 26 |
a prefix, a lot of (if not all of) the collision-protect issues should |
| 27 |
go away (like with fink for example), hence if you then still want |
| 28 |
something progressive, it will mean something else to me like it means |
| 29 |
to me now. It will be a misunderstanding from my side, but a separation |
| 30 |
of alt/darwin and alt/macos might be approriate at that stage, since |
| 31 |
progressive/darwin then clearly has not the sole purpose to extend and |
| 32 |
enrich an Apple OSX install. Sounds more like progressive wants to |
| 33 |
build a Darwin system (perhaps even kernel) with portage as package |
| 34 |
manager. This is completely cool, but not my cup of tea, and a whole |
| 35 |
new definition of progressive to me. So maybe we should start a new |
| 36 |
thread on what progressive actually means/is? :) |
