Well,
I think a lot of what I've been thinking recently has already been said
by Daniel. I'm actually in the middle of being inducted and I'm just
concerned that I'm going to get extra responsibility without any real
positive aspects for me. I don't really *want* access to check into

Not sure if you have seen this or not. Check out Conary [1] from
rPath. Think of it as Rpm+Ebuild+Distributed. It's done by some
people who used to be at Redhat and in one of the whitepapers, they
specifically mention portage/ebuild.

Since we have switched to using splash-themes-livecd over a year ago,
I'd like to whack this package. We have only 1 2.4-based kernel that I
am aware of that has bootsplash support, so it is very likely that this
is completely unused anymore. If there's no objections in the next few
days, I'll ma

I am not familiar with eselect.
Also, I fail to see the benefit of using the eselect framework
when /sbin/functions.sh provides what I need as a base.
Of course, feel free to talk me around.

Hi list.
I've been working on getting a Gentoo version of Debians resolvconf package
into portage. It's basically a re-write of the internals (which I don't like)
but the command line, setup and plugin system are 100% compatible (except for
the plugins which may need one line changing). As such
Hi,
Linux 2.6.16 will be in the tree very soon. Assuming there aren't any
major problems, we'll hopefully be marking it stable in 2-3 weeks.
As usual, please bring any conflicts (e.g. compilation failures of
kernel module ebuilds against 2.6.16) to our attention by making them
block bug 1269
