18 I agree. Enrico, since you are working with ebuilds and trying to add
19 to the tree, you need to post on -dev. This list is for users trying to
20 get help with getting packages to install, work and how to work with the
21 programs they install. This list does other things to but that is the
22 basics of it. Since you are developing packages, or trying to, you need
23 to be on -dev.

25 You might want to find a well respected developer and discuss the way
26 Gentoo does things off of any list. You are only going to make things
27 worse for yourself. At some point, you are going to be ignored by
28 default. Sort of hard to prove yourself when no one is listening.
