You can always host it in an overlay, or try submitting it to |
| 14 |
proxy-maintainers. Volunteering to proxy-maintain the package would |
| 15 |
probably also help - that basically involves committing to keep it up |
| 16 |
to date and deal with bugs/etc. |

The obvious QA issue I could think of with putting this in the main |
| 19 |
repo is where it sticks its files and how well-behaved it is. When it |
| 20 |
installs lisp packages does it keep them in some kind of tidy area |
| 21 |
that isn't going to step on the rest of the filesystem? |
| 22 |
Language-specific package managers can sometimes be messy in that way. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
My guess though is that this reflects a lack of interest in lisp more |
| 25 |
than any specific criticism. If somebody had a criticism they'd have |
| 26 |
pointed it out. |

I didn't look at your package too closely but one little tweak you |
| 29 |
should make is something like: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
SRC_URI="https://github.com/roswell/roswell/archive/v${PV}.zip -> ${P}.zip" |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
That makes it easier to maintain by renaming the package version |
| 34 |
number, and it also cleans up the filename in the distfiles cache (and |
| 35 |
on the mirrors). |
