It is a bad idea, I don't like it: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Like others already said, this _user_ repository will get linked with |
| 7 |
_Gentoo_ no matter what you are going to do: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1) Someone isn't able to write a proper ebuild which will satisfy |
| 10 |
Gentoo's QA requirements? => It should be in no way connected with "Gentoo". |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
2) Do you want to see packages moving from main repository to such a |
| 13 |
repository? Because people will stop spending time in doing it right if |
| 14 |
all they care about is the 'install image' ... exactly this will happen... |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
3) What about the dependency tree? No cleanup possible because some low |
| 17 |
quality ebuild nobody cares about is still depending on an old version |
| 18 |
but anything else in the main tree migrated away? Or don't you care |
| 19 |
about dependency tree so we are just waiting for the first one copying |
| 20 |
ebuilds from main repository to the new user repository to keep the old |
| 21 |
version still alive? :> |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This will be a nightmare: If this will be successful user will tell |
| 24 |
other user "Just enabled GURU repository to get X" -- boom. In the same |
| 25 |
moment they have no security support anymore, cannot expect some level |
| 26 |
of quality we try to achieve every day... |
| 27 |

Please explain: Someone started another motion, "Appeals of Moderation |
| 29 |
Decisions" which aims to get rid of the "Off the Wall" sub forum in |
| 30 |
forums.gentoo.org. Main argument: The sub forum is damaging Gentoo's |
| 31 |
reputation because the content will still get associated with Gentoo |
| 32 |
(=people are unable to understand that this is an off topic forum, a |
| 33 |
place to bundle trash because in a community you cannot avoid trash at |
| 34 |
all). It's funny because OTW exists for more than 10 years now... |
| 35 |
You aren't trying to tell us that this is true for the forum but a user |
| 36 |
repository wouldn't be a problem because users will understand that this |
| 37 |
repository will contain bad stuff or stuff nobody cares about enough to |
| 38 |
pass the review process to get into the main repository... it doesn't |
| 39 |
matter that this repository will carry Gentoo's name and even has _GLEP_... |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
No. Please just NO. |
