How certain are you of this guess? How long is long enough? Mostly? At the moment, it beats mostly on our efforts to it; and in the near future, it'll need to adapt further to newer EAPIs as well as further bugs and other complexities in the Portage trees. Otherwise you'll get a lot of "we can't continue because they stopped developing Portage". Hence that's why it comes up every now and then as a subject, hence someone finally made the call to reinforcement, ...; so, it won't have to continue beating on its own at all. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : [email protected] GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
