To my fellow arguing Gentoo developers,
due to the recent conflict concerning keywording I want to propose to
separate keywording completely from ebuilds. The keywords would reside
in a special file in profiles/, maybe even in more than one file to
allow more granular permissions. For example only mips developers can
access
the mips keywording file then.
The arch team can then decide themselves which ebuild they want to mark
~arch and they can take care of possible new dependencies themselves.
Also currently kde keywording/stabling needs ~300 commits. The problem
being that all changes files also get transferred in a rsync. A separate
keywording file would be the only one changed thus greatly reducing the
sync time.
comments?
Best regards,
Stefan
