I'm sorry, Luca, but I can't do what I want to do with your proposal.
I'd like to know what you want to do.
With the -scm suffix I can.
Good to know, once you state what it is
Actually I thought this was settled. What exactly is the issue holding GLEP 54 back that we need more discussion and different proposals?
- the glep 54 draft was deem unspecified and about 6 month ago. Peper was asked by the council to add more details on why and how it is useful. Nobody did anything and now he isn't even more acting as proxy to Ciaranm requests.
- since apparently some people even disliked that proposal basically because in their eyes it didn't add any to -9999 in term of functionality people suggested to use a specific property to mark ebuilds as "live" and have portage act accordingly.
- in addition some people (me being the main writer) started discussing what really they needed that -9999 doesn't give already, focus being the ability to track live sources installed and possibly the ability to get from an ebuild using live sources to an ebuild using a snapshot automatically. Thus the half baked document I put in my devspace got in.
If there weren't people quite vocal against -scm the council wouldn't have been involved.
