Just a little FYI for everybody on the list... |
2 |
|
3 |
I've gone and forked most of the Release Engineering tools. I no longer |
4 |
plan on maintaining the "Gentoo" versions of catalyst, genkernel, |
5 |
hwdata, or livecd-tools. Instead, I am working on these projects under |
6 |
my own domain and will be releasing them as "standalone" applications, |
7 |
not under the Gentoo moniker. Now, these projects always have been |
8 |
"Gentoo Hosted Projects" and not really owned by the Gentoo project, but |
9 |
continued issues from other developers has proven that many don't |
10 |
understand this case. As such, it was simply easier to break away from |
11 |
the main project. This also allows us greater flexibility in making |
12 |
changes that would otherwise not be accepted within Gentoo. All of the |
13 |
current maintainers of these forks will be working on them in their new |
14 |
homes, making the Gentoo-hosted versions essentially dead. |
15 |
|
16 |
The projects are being hosted on wolf31o2.org and are currently being |
17 |
hosted in a set of private git repositories. I'll announce here when I |
18 |
get a chance to get the public repositories online. When I do, I'll |
19 |
change the "catalyst-9999" and "genkernel-9999" ebuilds to reflect the |
20 |
new repository locations. |
21 |
|
22 |
I'll keep using this mailing list, for the time being, for my forks of |
23 |
these projects. I will be setting up my own lists, but see no real need |
24 |
to move in a rush, seeing as how low-volume this list usually is. |
25 |
|
26 |
Bug reports can be sent to this list or reported to Gentoo's bugzilla, |
27 |
but I won't have permanent access to that location, since I am retiring |
28 |
as a Gentoo developer. |
