I think a could help with migration and version bumps, lets say a few |
| 26 |
ebuilds a week, but at the beginning I would need a senior developer to |
| 27 |
review my ebuilds to catch my bad style etc. I've already sent some |
| 28 |
migrated ebuilds from java-experimental-overlay to Joshua a week ago but |
| 29 |
I've received no feedback yet nor they appeared in the |
| 30 |
migrated-java-experimental-overlay. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I would also appreciate more information on Java ebuilds development. I |
| 33 |
don't remember I've seen somewhere slotting "howto" for Java ebuilds, |
| 34 |
but I may miss something. |
