> Unfortunately we cannot make this type of data collection opt-in because the limited data from voluntary reports wouldn’t provide enough insights to make informed product decisions. Opt-in data would come from a small, biased subset, leading to flawed conclusions.

K-9 mail has trackers now?

oh bleh

@danderson i'm an openrc maintainer and soon-to-be gentoo dev

feel free to ask any questions you have

@danderson profiles go into your portage overlay, which usually you check in by git

meanwhile things you installed by hand go in /var/lib/portage/world

so, those two package lists never touch, you can erase that world file and tell portage to depclean, and it'll remove everything not in the profiles

@danderson oh, yes

i focused on the A/B thing you mentioned and forgot about that

btrfs snapshots work perfect for this and iirc you can easily rollback / boot an older one

@danderson no one has written that yet, but otoh yes

say you have two partitions A/B, and you booted into A
you can emerge your updates into B by giving portage the --root flag, then set so that next boot B gets mounted instead of A

it'd be a new quite complex project to do though

@danderson lol i do that with gentoo

i have profiles (sets of packages and use flags and configurations and stuff) that define my base systems and things i need per host

and then whatever else i want in a moment i manually install

been calling this semi-declarative

@hrefna isn't 3 the job of a library? that is what my library (libactivity) will do mostly, parsing json-ld into higher level structs. if it fails to parse, it is not an acceptable object

for 1, i want to look at what wayland does for it's extensions. FEPs as is are... useless to say the least. wayland-protocols have current implementations as members, and to get a protocol extension in, you need to implement it and have it be ack'd by existing members (the number of acks changes depending on the namespaces, wp-, xdg-, ext-)
