Hi,
Continue with *top-posting* as it is.
Does Gentoo gives more choises to users or not?
With the freedom/choise comes the responsibility (if anything breaks).
Gentoo is known not to be for *everybody* (unless he/she is willing to
learn & quite stubborn to use it).
These ebuilds *are* already in Bugzilla, and for some there're people
interested in maintaining/improving them.
IMHO this is better then an ebuild/s which seats for 2-3 years and is of
*outstanding quality*. The world is in motion not static.
The overall concern (for me) with 'sunrise' & similar is the
availability (in advance) of some *good/understandable* information
about some consequences in using such project/s.
Just a warning no more. All this on main docs page (to be visible).
E.g. some of the current *semi/official* overlays mess with the versions
in the *main tree* so i have to mask/unmask things to do what i want (i
accept this).
Just my point of view, no more.
