If we simply have to decide between alternatives "scm" and "live", then I don't see what should be so complicated about reaching a decision. GLEP 54 doesn't really make clear the connection between the suffix and source code management is. It mentions source code management only shortly in the abstract, and then discusses things like version ordering that are not related to it. And does it really matter if the ebuild obtains its sources via a SCM system, or by some other means? Seems to me that "live" describes the property better. Ulrich
