proj/gentoo: Initial commit
This commit represents a new era for Gentoo:
Storing the gentoo-x86 tree in Git, as converted from CVS.
This commit is the start of the NEW history.
Any historical data is intended to be grafted onto this point.
Creation process:
1. Take final CVS checkout snapshot
2. Remove ALL ChangeLog* files
3. Transform all Manifests to thin
4. Remove empty Manifests
5. Convert all stale $Header$/$Id$ CVS keywords to non-expanded Git $Id$
5.1. Do not touch files with -kb/-ko keyword flags.

Since then, I decided +to make it public and add even more features to make it a complete and useable +media player. + +For the moment, it looks pretty much like XMMS, Winamp and similar software. +Even though it has far less features than those, the essential components of a +usable and user-friendly program are there in my opinion. + +From a programmatic point-of-view, I have decided to write a program that is +released only when considered bug-free. The free software community lacks, +IMnsHO, a sense of quality that makes its programs nearly useless to +lambda users. Not only is it useless, but I think it also gives free software +a bad reputation. The principle of freedom in "free software" is fundamental +to me, but it has to be reachable not only by some sort of geeky elite. There +is no point in telling users that since they have the freedom to enhance those +programs, they must fix them if they want to use them. Releasing a program +with too many bugs is of no use and is likely not to interest other fellow +programmers in the community either. + +On the other hand, Apple has published an interesting program called "iTunes". +Of course, it is not free software but it does implement interesting ideas +that I would like to include in Cynthiune. For example: CD burning, complete +playlist management, etc... Personally I find its user interface to be not as +user-friendly as it could be. My plan is thus to take advantage of my own +programming skills and sense of aesthetics (and ergonomy) to try to write +something a little bit different, inspired both by XMMS/Winamp and iTunes. +Cynthiune is thus currently very basic but its core design is starting to be +extensible enough that it will not be too much trouble to enhance it. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
