And I don't see a reason to merge the huge overlays list with the official gentoo tree. They are totally different things, and a future alternative to viewvc in sources.gentoo.org (maybe trac-git) should reflect that. If we show a huge list with ebuild repos to public (especially to new to gentoo) without separating the official tree (including user/unofficial/bad-shaped ones), I suppose we'll give the impression we are like debian, where the user needs the multimedia overlay to get multimedia ebuilds, or the kde overlay to install kde. For the second part of your question, Ryan's responce is perfect. -- Theo Chatzimichos (tampakrap) Gentoo KDE/Qt, Planet, Overlays
