Hello, |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I am waiting to forward this comment chain to proxy-maint@g.o |
| 36 |
pending a reply from aidecoe, or waiting for him to do the same at his |
| 37 |
leisure. It is possible someone else may reply that is a better fit. I |
| 38 |
am not very smart, sir, and I do not want to disappoint the Gentoo |
| 39 |
project. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
The developer's manual was easy enough to find |
| 42 |
(https://devmanual.gentoo.org/). Are there subsections of that manual |
| 43 |
or related documents you (or aidecoe) would suggest I read in their |
| 44 |
entirety before starting? I am vaguely aware of standards documents |
| 45 |
and style guidelines that are important for code committed to the main |
| 46 |
portage tree. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Respectfully, |
| 49 |
R0b0t1 |
