Well, let's see where it goes. I'll continue my work and it |
| 7 |
seems that soon a few others might jump in. |

That'll be the most troublesome ones of all ;-) |

I've designed the two projects so that they're independent from |
| 23 |
each other, but just play very well with together. |

OSS-QM repositories [1] are layed out in a way that it's trivial |
| 26 |
to fetch specific version of the packages, and also allows separate |
| 27 |
namespaces (prefixes) for individual distros (so they can push their |
| 28 |
work directly to oss-qm w/o stepping onto other's feet). |

Well, for Debian it already works quite well, Gentoo still is |
| 33 |
unsolved, as I'm lacking information to construct the history. |
| 34 |
(a little help from Gentoo devs would really be appreciated). |

Actually, I already *do* have something similar - by combination |
| 41 |
of OSS-QM and Briegel. But yet only a few packages for certian |
| 42 |
embedded targets. |
