not sure why you're getting pissy. but let's put some things straight shall we. - the ebuild in question was from the layman repo. i changed things of course because it didnt cover all upgrade pieces, had obvious style problems, and did some things wrongly. - i'd been poking openrc on my system long before "this weekend". - only pinging people on irc does not constitute real effort. we have e-mail addresses too last i checked. - the package is still p.masked and de-keyworded. nothing precludes you from working on it. or writing docs. or doing anything else you're talking about doing. - and no, i dont have a problem sticking masked/de-keyworded things in the tree. people test things then. -mike
