Well, indeed. Also, in the particular case at hand, it seems that the board has already made a policy decision about community-maintained layers being appropriate for hosting on oe.org. I'm not sure that it is within the TSC's remit to obstruct the implementation of that policy by insisting on some sort of extra approval process every time someone wants to create such a layer. The other thing that seems faintly absurd in this particular instance is that nobody has raised any actual objection to the creation of the layer in principle and, aside from noting that we don't wish the admin team to be overworked, nor has anybody suggested any reasons why it shouldn't be hosted on oe.org. So, on that basis, and absent any reason to believe that this layer would produce a crippling administrative workload, it isn't obvious what rational basis the TSC would have for deciding to oppose its creation. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
