At the top of the metadata/layout.conf file in the main gentoo repository, the comments read: > # This went live Wednesday, July 4, 2012 at 10:00 UTC > # For more details, please see: http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev-announce/msg_00000.xml > # and/or GLEP 59. The gentoo-dev-announce link is outdated and is now a 404. The updated link seems to be https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev-announce/message/a15cbea85dd089c99302f949b4072c20 . This is fairly obviously not urgent at all, but I didn't see it on the bug tracker so I thought I'd make sure it existed here. :)
Created attachment 423192 [details, diff] Fix outdated URL in comment Patch attached, created from 'git format-patch' on a shallow clone of <https://anongit.gentoo.org/git/repo/gentoo.git>. I believe I have formatted my commit message correctly, but if not, my apologies! (I'm not normally a Gentoo dev but I did read https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/portage.git/tree/DEVELOPING - since it seemed the most relevant guide - and believe I've formatted it properly.)
Hmm, This is something that should normally be put up in the gentoo-dev list for review. It was incorrectly assigned to the portage team which is for portage development, not the Gentoo ebuild tree. Let's see if I can reassign this correctly.
Sorry about that! The bad assignment was my fault - I was trying to find the most appropriate place to put it as I knew it was a meta bug with Gentoo itself, rather than a package in Gentoo. I should have just left it to the bug wranglers. Lesson learned for next time! As for the gentoo-dev mailing list, thanks for the tip. I'll wait until I hear back from someone on this bug before posting this there, but I'll definitely check it out.
(Since this has been moved, I'm adjusting the summary to make this clear that it refers to the gentoo ebuild repository and not the "gentoo" file manager.)
