Why make a special case for embedded? Maybe you haven't noticed, but baselayout is a virtual - which does make things harder as the main "forks" (vserver and fbsd) sometimes break when we add new things and they haven't synced up yet. But that's OK as they're supported I guess. Or are you saying that spb, other devs and people outside of Gentoo who has submitted SoC applications about Paludis (or what that qaludis?) are just going to wack it into the tree and then say "we're not going to support it"? Of course not! If az, vapier and myself upped and left Gentoo, would you rip out baselayout in favour of something else as there's no-one to support it? -- Roy Marples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo/Linux Developer (baselayout, networking) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
