    @cwebber Please note, that I will still remain a Debian Developer with uploading rights. I will also still upload packages. I will just no longer upload to NEW as long as this situation persists.

    But yes, it is becoming more and more frustrating and I'm eying other projects like #Gentoo or #NetBSD and of course #MNT remains my Nr1 hobby, so no worries :)

    This specific issue will probably get addressed but when your hobby involves more and more "pushing back" then yes, priorities will change...

    @josch @cwebber

    #Gentoo remains committed to the stance that using LLM assistance to contribute modifications to official Gentoo projects (including but not limited to, the package recipes, package manager and linting software, infrastructure and developer services, documentation, etc.) is a violation of the social contract and bannable as bad behavior rather than as legal/copyright issues. :)

    New human contributors always welcome...

    Interesting!

    > A binary package must contain the exact same content for all profiles with which it builds including no activated profile at all (if it builds in that case). Otherwise a package depending on that binary package might not find the functionality or data it expects it to provide.

    Ah yeah, mainly for bootstrapping :P Gentoo binary packages are keyed on USE flag and the PM will download only binaries built for your active USE flags.

    @eschwartz For Debian we had to do it the other way round: by default, everything is enabled and build profiles allow disabling things selectively. What I wanted to know from Gentoo was: how expressive does the syntax have to be to allow for all the things that you might want to express. So we ended up with this disjunctive normal form expression XD @cwebber
