4 Well, per my email to -dev last week [1], I've gone forward with setting
5 up a perl overlay on overlays.gentoo.org[2]. What's there now (and
6 available via layman) isn't the final version - mostly me just fooling
7 around to see it work in action. My vision for this overlay would be to
8 1. Get rid of the test data I posted :) and 2. setup an overlay, maybe
9 along the naming schemes of perl-testing (for ebuilds we are testing to
10 put into the main tree), perl-experimental (for things like the slotted
11 perl tests), perl-no-maintainer (a long name for things that have sat in
12 bugzilla forever that want a home, but that we don't have the energy to
13 support in the main tree), and maybe a perl-alt for ebuilds that we
14 eventually move out of the main perl tree because of a lack of need, but
15 that folks may still want around. I might even suggest cab put up the
16 work he and Michelle have done in perl-catalyst, though I understand
17 Michelle has been working from an existing overlay to begin with.
18
19 My vision, however, is myopic. I'm sure there are things I'm not seeing
20 because I'm too focussed on the immediate gratification goal. Thoughts?
21 Suggestions? Initially I'd like to get those perl devs that are
22 interested hooked up with full access, though the long term goal once we
23 have some structure and meat is to allow a few individuals that have
24 expressed an interest to have commit access as well (perl team will have
25 to come up with some sort of screening process for this, but I think we
26 know who the really interested vs not are).
27
28 Lay it on me folks. If you have layman installed, there is currently a
29 new overlay called perl you can add (though like I said above, that's
30 subject to some change in the near future), or anyone can svn co
31 http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/perl locally.
