Description Jose Luis Rivero (yoswink) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-02 15:09:43 UTC
At the beggining of QA section you can read:
"Note: As of 17 Dec 2002, Nick Jones (carpaski) is the Portage Maintainer."

AFAIK, carpaski isn't the current portage maintainer.
Don't send a patch because don't know what would you like to put there or if you
just want to delete the note.

Cheers.

need the portage guys to state what their current policy is ;)
Comment 2 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-02 20:05:39 UTC
Haven't checked back, but I'd kill the whole section and just say "You aren't
allowed to commit in gentoo-x86/sys-apps/portage/*" as those who may touch it
are aware of it, I think we have enough redundancy these days that the whole
exception stuff is void.
Comment 3 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-28 07:23:36 UTC
How about:

<p>
Only members of the Portage team (who know who they are) have the authority
to release new releases of Portage. <b>No one</b> else is allowed to roll new
releases of Portage.
</p>

... and get rid of all the other crud ...?

Yeah, that's what I said, just in other words (except that "member" should be
replaced with "lead developer").
Jason, Brian, you're ok with this?
Comment 5 Brian Harring (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-28 20:33:08 UTC
Works for me, although the manual bit is annoying.
Comment 6 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-29 05:04:37 UTC
No problems here either. 
Comment 7 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-12-04 15:47:15 UTC
