Hello, all. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
We've been slacking for some time and we're two versions of PyPy behind |
| 4 |
already. Therefore, I've opened a staffing need [1] for a new PyPy |
| 5 |
package maintainer and hacker. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
We specifically need someone who knows the basics of Python ecosystem |
| 8 |
and is able to hack on PyPy's code. The work involves: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
- checking our existing patchset and updating it for future versions |
| 11 |
of PyPy, |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
- hacking PyPy to be compatible with common Python install layout |
| 14 |
as outlined in bug #465546 [2], |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
- updating PyPy ebuilds and building binary packages [3]. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
We will offer all help we can. We can help with ebuild-related issues |
| 19 |
and understanding of Python ecosystem in Gentoo. We can provide |
| 20 |
some infrastructure to build PyPy if that is necessary. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
However, we don't know the PyPy internals, so that's what the candidate |
| 23 |
will need to face alone. Hopefully, it will be just a one-time effort. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If you are interested in helping out, please contact us at |
| 26 |
#gentoo-python (freenode) or python@g.o. We appreciate all |
| 27 |
the help you can give us. |
