I have to agree with Allen on this. I submitted some ebuilds for some WindowMaker apps almost 3 or 4 months ago. Since then, I've moved on and switched WM's twice. LOL Yet, my ebuilds are STILL sitting in bugzilla yet to be reviewed. Every once in a while, I'll get a comment about one or two of the submitted ebuilds. And to be frank, since I'm not using it anymore, I could care LESS what happens to em. It annoys me (on a scale of 1 - 10 where 10 is full blown anger, it's definitely a 1!) that user submitted ebuilds can take a WHILE to get approved. (Note: the ebuilds that I had submitted for the XFCE 4 rc releases on the other hand were accepted within days of me submitting em. :)) Kinda removes the feel that "power" is in the user's hands. -- Jeff Stuart [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
