True, it would be very preferred to have mdev as a new profile. |
16 |
|
17 |
BUT ... If the procedure lacks something and/or causes a huge number |
18 |
of bugs/annoyances, it will never be accepted as a profile. |

So we'll have to start with what we have right now, and push it to as |
21 |
many early adopters as possible. One way is to put this into wiki.g.o |
22 |
as an article, and give people a linkback via this list and/or the |
23 |
forums. |

Eh? The changes are so minor it truly can't be considered a fork. |
32 |
|
33 |
Hack-job, perhaps. Fork, no ;-) |

AFAICT, your procedure involves no C programming at all. |
40 |
|
41 |
After reflecting on your procedure, I think the whole process can be |
42 |
automated via scripts (bash and/or .ebuild). |
43 |
|
44 |
Let's see if I can whup up such a script within this week... |
