Some things. For users, the main difference is that their repositories are central and can be grown in a modular manner. Their repositories would likely be amalgamations of our curated and reviewed repositories, and some more obscure ones from specific areas they are interested in. This is very similar to what we have today, save for the public user repositories. A central index, as pointed out by Zac, would ideally be Accompanying the public repositories. Via this hub, users could review each other's ebuilds, and so on.
For our central repositories, the main difference would be having more repositories, to ensure that we are as modular as possible, so that users can more easily e.g. pick and choose external repositories instead of what we suggest and recommend, or completely get rid of components they don't need or want. - -- Alexander berna...@gentoo.org https://secure.plaimi.net/~alexander -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJXWnHfAAoJENQqWdRUGk8BkeUQAMwcuz+0VKvJEXIz6lDu/d9U CqUNdfVEDUIw2KznogOht0NOkAEGOA6431nbfnf7or5V/AGubVcOVICImex5yNhR IMp4W2KFor5DKOGyBCDvEjBDFJdbFPNsZsYeJ+KKnaIKhQEaWvMAqk0UFrZKuh3G a1aDGjvdPdqySdfBEeSqTPSQcUKhegTtxQu0q4WrVbyAz5d74SYyqsJGzeYz9v2d NPuswwJ22s1QavhjppDa55lp6lO1THaJyYnMkDPJ9qavjXMDkr7h0MD0VstiqedO HRW5O6Za7bv43aStiy5lC7wO+XBwDPjFOpMRNPynXzy4dA8OrnQZQThykTFYXPu1 k7NKHQQNrnXgNSjcvEYirvcjJDanARMUSMn2BCC7lM2Iy30B7IemDdnnT0TkfhG1 ipnPN0N+Vcmp8xJfOftEjsypVyXzuIv7dA1Ck6egqTdkcsKitSS4RAM7nT049FM9 pYTlGUs/6p/Jbl355CPK+Wfi8PuOCcPOaEI7XeAawXbfKBIIi2/U7mDCDV8NWy+N b+hBRssNx8MBmJeb1UnbqxezDJlUP/ahinbrCg+BOvJZHgrS3fMJymu/lJ6HMZfD ULVqXl40ZFdNaL4ZMeJxVWRfX+gUunSzJPYzLR9kLaJfzrfWdIG5zxGsSpwDg291 A4PKup/1kjtqXawOyFC0 =MaxA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
