• [gentoo-dev] Closing the Lisp umbrella project

    From Ulrich Mueller@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 16 21:00:03 2022
    We have decided to close the Lisp umbrella project [1]. Its subprojects
    Common Lisp, Scheme, and Emacs already moved to the top level.

    We will keep the #gentoo-lisp IRC channel and the lisp overlay;
    ownership of the latter will be changed to Common Lisp and Scheme.
    (The Emacs project has always used its own overlay.)

    Rationale: There is little value in having an umbrella project for Lisp
    related things. The few common resources don't justify having a project.
    The Lisp project neither has any members other than those inherited
    from its subprojects, and there are no packages with lisp@gentoo.org
    as maintainer.

    (As a general note, most umbrella projects seem to be a remnant of the
    old CVS pages or even of GLEP 4 metaprojects [2], where projects were
    organised as a hierarchical tree. In the wiki, the structure is mostly
    flat, with the occasional subproject to provide additional structure.)
