Do you need to know how every bit of a car works to drive it? No. We're simply asking you to tag in a repo_id to your calls to portage. It's bloody simple, just need to know what you explicitly need from a news client standpoint. Stop being a stubborn mule, and realize that you're trying to shove a feature into portage that *we* have to maintain, including your built in design flaw for N repos. If you can't accept our criticism and suggestions for your glep, tough cookies, we're the ones stuck maintaining it, and the users are the one stuck when we expand portage functionality (thus breaking your implementation). > *shrug* But if you prefer, I'll change the GLEP to > support multiple repositories the way I'd like to see them done rather > than the way you'd like. Ciaranm, cut the word games and stupid threats. If you can't work with others, and actually understand that they may not agree with your views (let alone be willing to have you dump a mess on them), I suggest you leave the distro and go work on your social skills. Propose the glep however you want. As long as the glep is around, I'm going to do the same you do- point out the flaws in it. If you're unwilling to even nail down what is needed so that all parties are happy, that's fine- I would expect the council to realize the glep (heavily affecting the portage group, since server and client side mods fall on our head) needs to be worked out further and thus reject it. Or, you stop debating the fact portage group might have a say in this, and start discussing what needs to be done so progress is made. Balls in your court, you know we view it as unacceptable right now, if you're not willing to work with us there isn't much that can be done. ~harring
