My programming skills are somewhat crippled, but I know about the |
| 10 |
principles, I know how to read source code and change minor things. |
| 11 |
You need to know Linux and tools like sed, diff, patch and friends. I |
| 12 |
started as an arch tester for x86 and learned a lot about how Gentoo |
| 13 |
works that way, then began contributing to Project Sunrise which |
| 14 |
improved my ebuild skills (at least brought it to a decent level). |
| 15 |
Reading devmanual added some more knowledge and also the quizzes are |
| 16 |
helpful. |
