Description Dwight Schauer 2002-07-28 11:22:36 UTC
I would like to submit an ebuild for consideration, but the documentation is not
completely straight forward about it.

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/ebuild-submit.html points to
http://bugs.gentoo.org/enter_bug.cgi which asks for category in which to submit
the "bug".

Well, it is not a "bug" I wish to submit, but a "feature" that I wish to have
added.I do understand that a "bug" tracking system is the place to track
"feature requests" as well.

It would be more clear if one of the categories said "newly submitted ebuilds to
be considered go here" or something to that effect. Or if somewhere else in the
web documentation this was made more clear.

Searching the bug list, I see many submissions of ebuilds, so I do know that
bugzilla is indeed used for ebuild submission.

I posted this question on the forums
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=9846&highlight=ascpu and was pointed
back to the documentation that I'd already read before posting in the first place.

Because I still find it unclear, I consider this to be a "bug" somewhere in the
web site documentation.

I have ebuilds to submit that could benefit other users than myself, but I won't
submit them until the ebuild submission process is made a little clearer to me
so that I do submit them through the proper channels.
