[gentoo-dev] N00b question
Hi, sorry to post a very n00b question on the list, but since I haven't done that in... uh years... I cannot remember the procedure to follow for masking a package for automated removal from the tree. Can someone give me a heads up or point me to the relevant documentation? Thanks, Michele Noberasco

I think we should do a little less debating over personal opinions (which is a hot topic, apparently) and more about how Gentoo guidelines determine what can go stable. If the guidelines don't cover this, then they ought to be fixed. The opinions of most of the people in this thread are not directly relevant anyway. The maintainer gets to decide when to file a stablereq bug for their package and the arch teams to get to decide whether to mark something stable on their arch or not. So someone just make a decision and move forward; we will never reach consensus here (and we should not be trying to reach one anyway.) -A -- Jacob For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now — and never to be equaled again.

The question is does this apply to our 'product' or does it apply to everything. Certainly users can continue to use Gentoo without using this calendar at all; however if it becomes some kind of integral part of Gentoo (which I doubt it will) we will have to look at switching to something else (which is easy given the many export formats of Google Calendar :)) I am all about trying out new things and working out the details after the fact;so +1 to the calendar as well. -A

If you mean the thread you started that tangentially took off from this one, about eselect profile improvements: I support that proposal, but it will take some time to get implemented. Is anyone already working on that? In the meantime I see no reason for that to halt or postpone the current desktop profile improvements as prepared by Theo.

Right now it isn't really getting used at all, and as you pointed out we can always transition it later. Before we build out an uber-calendaring-application maybe we should just let the current calendar get some use, and then we can see how it goes. Plus, our experiences with Google Calendar may come in handy when defining requirements for a pure-FOSS solution. Of course, if somebody wants to setup something that is FOSS anyway, nobody is going to stop them. Rich

That wasn't clear from the original. Good to make it explicit (as you have now several times). =:^) I think Duncan's point is that in the Social Contract it talks about how Gentoo should only rely on open source software. Well, that, and the simple assumption that every dev had no objection to a gmail account. If the point had been made then (as made now) that read- only is available without, and that those without (thereby recognizing the possibility) could ask another dev... But that was taken care of with my original post and other followups, so it's pretty much resolved. The question is does this apply to our 'product' or does it apply to everything. Certainly users can continue to use Gentoo without using this calendar at all; however if it becomes some kind of integral part of Gentoo (which I doubt it will) we will have to look at switching to something else (which is easy given the many export formats of Google Calendar :)) I am all about trying out new things and working out the details after the fact;so +1 to the calendar as well.
