I am afraid, that policy may only be inferred by reading the metadata page of dev handbook: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=4 Sadly, this is one of the few things that did not get fomalized properly since the "oral tradition" times. Should we formalize it now? If we do it any other way, we cannot rely on the metadata for the purposes of tracking unmaintained ebuilds. Yes, some ebuilds are not herded right now. Wanna guess how many of those happen to be stale? Then, <20% unherded packages? - I consider this a very good result! Remember, there is no "absolute correctness", so I would say right now the idea works for all practical purposes. George -- [email protected] mailing list
