I'd like to move the Unofficial Gentoo Development Guide [1] onto my |
2 |
devspace [2]. This could be construed as weakening its unofficial status |
3 |
(despite the title and the footers), so I'm asking for comments first |
4 |
rather than simply doing it. |
5 |
|
6 |
Infra -- this is about three megs of static content. I very much doubt |
7 |
that this will cause any noticeable disc or bandwidth load. |
8 |
|
9 |
If anyone objects, just reply to this email (on or off list) saying so. |
10 |
No need to provide a reason, I'm not going to discuss it or ask for an |
11 |
explanation -- I'll simply withdraw this request. Similarly, if anyone |
12 |
wants me to stop talking about an unofficial doc on official mailing |
13 |
lists, say so and I'll shut up. Finally, if anyone would like any or all |
14 |
of the guide removed, just give the word. |
15 |
|
16 |
Since I'm wasting your bandwidth anyway... Brief summary of updates |
17 |
which may be of interest to some: |
18 |
|
19 |
* Following Stuart's comments [3], I've added an overview [4] of what |
20 |
the various ebuild.sh QA notices mean and how to fix them. I'll be |
21 |
adding in other similar material such as how to fix sandbox violations |
22 |
-- requests welcomed. |
23 |
|
24 |
* Following Tom's comments, I've started a section on arch things [5]. |
25 |
This isn't intended to be comprehensive; it's just a simple overview for |
26 |
non arch people so that they can have some vague clue about what the |
27 |
heck the mips guys mean when they say "this doesn't work on n32". Thanks |
28 |
to the sparc and mips teams for their help and contributions. Currently |
29 |
sparc and mips are the only archs covered in depth, because they're all |
30 |
I know -- it would be much appreciated if other arch teams would like to |
31 |
lend a hand. |
32 |
|
33 |
* Following all kinds of people's comments, I've started a section |
34 |
[6] which is known as the 'tasks reference' until I come up with a less |
35 |
sucky name. Thanks to Aaron for the Bash Completion [7] things and Diego |
36 |
for his commentary on PAM [8]. |
37 |
|
38 |
* More autotools [9] updates. It's getting there... I added some more |
39 |
lines to the picture too. |
40 |
|
41 |
Suggestions, contributions [10], requests, clarifications, hints about |
42 |
the many many typos, complaints etc to me via email. |
43 |
|
44 |
Again, if anyone wants me to shut up about this thing or take it down, |
45 |
just let me know. |
