Mostly stable and safe to use :) - -This overlay contains : - -* home backed ebuilds, not found in Gentoo's portage tree, or any other overlay -* customized Gentoo ebuilds to better suit Redcore's needs (e.g. dkms integration) -* patched Gentoo ebuilds if the ones in portage tree are broken or they have missing dependencies (it happens) - -Policy : - -* The home backed ebuilds will sometimes lack behind upstream releases, we don't actively check for new upstream releases. -But don't worry, we will eventually update them, no ebuild in here is forgotten or unmaintained. Once we loose interest -in one particular ebuild we will simply drop it. We won't keep it in here just because somebody "MAY" eventually use it. - -* Customisation/patching of Gentoo ebuilds will be as minimal as possible. However sometimes we can go wild and completely -change things, like adding/dropping USE flags, apply patches and so on. Most of our changes are USE flag conditional, so -the ebuilds can be used in upstream Gentoo without modification. All you will have to do, is disable our new USE flags. -In Redcore Linux the customised/patched ebuilds will always have priority, and we will apply masks to prevent Gentoo ones -from being pulled in. - -* If our patched ebuilds can be submitted upstream, we will do so, and drop the corresponding ebuild in here, if accepted. -However this is not always the case, as sometimes we will not obey to Gentoo's QA standars. And most of the time we don't -even need to do so, as Gentoo folks are very good at solving issues. So if an ebuild just vanishes from in here, just use -the corresponding Gentoo one. It means our patches are no longer needed. |
