Please don't commit files to profiles/ unless it has been discussed previously on this ML. I don't care if your file is insignificant or 'won't affect anything else' or that it's 'completely necessary'. Please discuss it first.
You don't have to ask for a vote on it, or make everyone agree with you. You don't even need to wait three weeks to make sure everyone read your mail. This is definately one of those times where the apache lazy concensus works. "Hi I'm adding this file to profiles/ for reason X in three days if no one has any issues with it." Thats really all I'd like to see. Something documented...So when I find the file magically in profiles/ a week later I can be like "Oh, that was due to mail on -dev" and not be like "hmm who did that" and then cvs log the file and then have to hunt you down on irc to figure out why it's there. Courtesy towards fellow developers, especially when commiting to global spaces such as profiles/ is appreciated by all. -Thanks Alec Warner -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
