I've done that already several times in this thread. You've suggested ICANINSTALLTO, which has become SUPPORTS. Beyond that you've either insulted those involved (the initial IRC discussion), or resorted to heckling the proposal via the same angle repeatedly. Funny part is above you agree on the response I've stated to you repeatedly, only after it's written by someone else. Intermixing another lovely bit of your slander/attacks. The reason that this thing was written up as a GLEP was because the author was trying to bypass the discussion and get around having to fix various flaws that had been pointed out previously. I suggested haubi write it up as a glep, and bring it to this ml for the purpose of discussion of it, issues and all. The funny thing is, if we just slipped the changes into portage and released it, we would be sidestepping the issues. It would be the OSX disaster. Write the sucker up as a glep, issues and all for discussion, and you attack those involved as trying to bypass the discussion. So pretty much it's screwed if you do, screwed if you don't. That's definitely one way to block progress on it; even bringing up the idea equals you flaming/attacking those involved with it. The entertaining aspect of this whole exchange is that you agree to jason's rephrasing of it (plus binpkg issues), which is the same damn thing you've been arguing against.

[gentoo-dev] distfiles whitelisting
Just a friendly reminder, if you are placing files on the distfiles mirrors that are not claimed by an ebuild in the tree, you need to whitelist the files- just add the files to /space/distfiles-whitelist-current on dev.gentoo.org , and the files will be left alone for 6 months, or until they're removed from the whitelist file. If you don't do this, the files _will_ be removed from the mirrors roughly a week after they hit the mirrors. I've added the exemptions I could think of to make the transition smooth, but ultimately it's the uploaders responsibility. Any questions, just give a yell. ~brian pgp0IoejOcgKN.pgp Description: PGP signature

A restriction of the sort you're specifying would block irssi from ever being binpkg'd for home installation.

I just installed wine (via the ebuild) to enable DVDShrink to be installed. Worked like a charm, but it would have been much cooler to 'emerge dvdshrink' and have wine pulled in as a dependancy. As things stand, Wine is not at all in a state that can be called stable, so what works with the monthly release of, say, april can very well break totally in june. To me that means there's not much use in providing ebuilds for something that is quite probable to break in four or eight weeks. This should change with the arrival of Wine 0.9, which we'll hopefull see this year (planned for september, see the WineConf wrapup [1]), so from a technical POV, that issue might go away at least for some apps in the not-too-distant future.
