Hello gentoo-dev, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
In general, I could use a mentor I can ask questions of and get answers |
| 4 |
from. I have been a tinkerer/user only of Gentoo in the past and am now |
| 5 |
wanting to be more involved. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I have been using the Developer Guide for assistance. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
But specifically for now... |
| 10 |
I requested to fill the maintainer role needed for the app-misc/gramps |
| 11 |
package as I use the software for my own needs and am fairly familiar |
| 12 |
with it. I am now the maintainer of that package. I find I can use some |
| 13 |
guidance in getting started. For instance, there is a bug to have |
| 14 |
gramps-4.2.4 stable (it is ~amd64 ~x86 now). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I have been running gramps-4.2.4 OK on amd64, testing various components |
| 17 |
and reports OK |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
To stabilize this package for amd64 and x86 it would also need to be |
| 20 |
verified on x86. I suppose I could do that myself by creating an x86 |
| 21 |
virtual guest and testing or I should ask for assistance via a bug to |
| 22 |
x86@. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Also, when I run 'repoman full' from the proposed ebuild directory I get |
| 25 |
QA issues for RDEPEND for dev-python/pyicu, which is also ~amd64. This |
| 26 |
dependent package (and its dependencies) would need to be stable as |
| 27 |
well. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
When it comes time to commit (repoman commit), do I need any user access |
| 30 |
set up before I commit? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Regards, |
| 33 |
