Prefix tree location

With the current climate within Gentoo regarding anything
"experimental"
hosted on official Gentoo hardware or whatever, it may not
be the best
any more to have our work on Gentoo resources.  Especially
with our
requirements of letting outsiders contribute, it seems to be
more and
more unpleasant that our tree is currently hosted in Gentoo
SVN.
In order to change this, I think we have two options: either
self
hosting, or letting it host by someone else, like
SourceForge.

I have a preference for letting our tree being hosted by
SourceForge
using SVN.  We can make a SVN snapshot and put it there,
then add
whoever we want to have contributing there.

The only drawback of such move would be that we decouple
from Gentoo,
which might be politically not such a good move.  However, I
think I
don't care.  I would be happy if finally people could work
on it.  Any
input on this?

Grobian-

We have a bunch of prefixed ebuilds that we would like to
contribute.
I'm not sure why the opposition to
"experimental", but if it needs to
be hosted externally, then I'm in favor of that.  ..

BTW, where is Kito?  (Long time no hear...)

My vote also goes with sourceforge as this is not dependent
on an 
individual's ability to host.

Politics be damned.

Emanuele, Kito, Diego?  Any problems with putting our
current tree on
SF?

Then read it as "strategically", and reconsider
your answer.

Yes, I asked already that we remain on Gentoo Infra to avoid
yet another flame 
war. So please don't, or you're going to be without cover
next time someone 
will try to shot you down (as in, I can't try to cover you
up if you're no 
more under my TLP).

Rather, I was going to ask Stuart for an overlays.gentoo.org
overlay for the 
basic Gentoo/Alt overlay; I suppose the same can happen for
the prefix work, 
too.

Diego, thanks.  I'd prefer to stay on Gentoo hardware as
well.

In that case, I'd say stick with gentoo hardware if at all
possible. 
However, if this means we are unable to accept community
support in a 
reasonable way, we need to seriously reconsider the SF
option.
