There should be no issues anymore. I was planning on doing this myself

I think I would rather see the multi-hash support now, rather than
later, as it seems to be something our users are asking about and it
seems like all the work is really there for an implem
ge, as you said. They would need to create a symlink
from /etc/make.profile to /usr/portage/profiles/obsolete/$arch, then
they would need to emerge --oneshot sandbox portage. After that, they
can upgrade to a supported profile.

Well, the "advantages" are simple. Upstream no longer supports 3.3
anymore. They barely support 3.4, but having some support from upstream
is better than none. This means 3.3 will be relegated to a legacy
version and likely won't be up
ing as how I have been on the
receiving end of this border-line harassment for making a change that
doesn't hurt anything, I don't want anyone on my team to make the same

As for
benchmarks, I think the issue is it depends entirely on usage. Having
something that is 30% faster on paper isn't very useful if you never do
it the way the benchmark does. I wish I had more numbers/examples here,

everyone will want something different. Perhaps allowing for longer USE
descriptions would work?

Why can't both RDEPEND on the other? This works perfectly fine for many
packages in the tree. A circular dependency isn't a bad thing if
they're both in RDEPEND, it is when they're both in DEPEND that causes
an issue.

I wouldn't have a problem with seeing ChangeLog in a default
RSYNC_EXCLUDES with a nice comment explaining how to get the ChangeLog
files. This way we are removing the problem by default, educating
users, and still not removing any data or options for our users and
developers.

I'm sorry, but I still think the idea of simply RSYNC_EXCLUDEing the
ChangeLog by default would be a much better solution.

I could see this working well without removing the information from CVS
or the tree. We would then add RSYNC_EXCLUDE on ChangeLog.old instead
of ChangeLog. I wouldn't have a problem with this, and it would still
be benificial. The only question left to be answered is how much space
would actual
communications, really.
We don't need direction. We just need some way for people to know who's
going where. I think Koon's "MetaBug" project would be an excellent
idea to assist in this. We need a body with some teeth to get things
done in a timely manner. We also nee
stabilized before then. Right now we really need bug
#110143 fixed so we can have a stable version of 1.11.14 in the tree.

There is a mailing list for that express purpose. We don't need a flood
of people coming in asking how to use the application while we're busy
trying to get a release out the door. If you want catalyst help or just
t;be civil" and
"don't break stuff". Anything beyond that is inhibiting one of our
greatest strengths, our individuality and individual ideas.
Do you want to be a part of a project that doesn't allow you to
implement some cool new feature because it might make Gentoo slightly
ke sure all of the base system works on every
architecture you can get your hands on from a bootstrap. Make sure the
same works from a 2005.1 (or 2005.1-r1) stage3 to build a stage1
tarball. Those two places are where we hit the majority of our bugs
during a release.
