[gentoo-science] science overlay vs. main tree

[Thomas Kahle]

Hi,

what are our current heuristics to decide if a package goes into main
tree or stays in the science overlay?  Two years ago I spent a lot of
time to get my beloved Macaulay2 tree ready and we even had a stable
version (getting old now).  Stabilising a new version is blocked among
other things because the build system does not respect a custom AR (bug
474784) and RANLIB (bug 474788).  Even if its not too hard, I'm not
going to fix those.  This would be just ridiculous.  I probably know all
the users of Macaulay2 on Gentoo personally.  None of them want to use a
different ar.  So, should I treeclean M2 and move it back to overlay
only?

Cheers,
Thomas
