Hey. |
2 |
|
3 |
It has been rumored for quite some time now that Gentoo will have a |
4 |
"stable" branch of portage. This is really essential for people wanting |
5 |
to run Gentoo on a server and desktop users who would take stability |
6 |
over anything. However, I haven't heard any "official words" on as to |
7 |
when will Gentoo actually get this stable branch. |
8 |
|
9 |
Over time (I've now been a Gentoo users for a few months), I've become |
10 |
more and more annoyed by the breakage that occurs so often in the one |
11 |
and only tree of Portage. It seems to me that not enough care and |
12 |
testing goes into it and I realised that unless the stable branch will |
13 |
happen soon (2-3 months top), I will consider going back to FreeBSD and |
14 |
apparently, I am not the only one who thinks in a similar fashion. |
15 |
|
16 |
So what's the problem ? Lack of human resources ? If that's the case, I |
17 |
would like to volunteer to help with maintaining the stable branch. I |
18 |
don't have excessive knowledge of Python, but I've contributed a few |
19 |
ebuilds (so I know the basics of how things work) and I am willing to |
20 |
spend a lot of time testing the ebuilds. |
21 |
|
22 |
I hope I didn't sound too offensive or anything. |
23 |
|
24 |
Sincerely, |
25 |
