5 Mark,
6
7 I appreciate the offer :) The email to the list is mostly to keep
8 everyone up to date on where we stand (actual number is in the 50's,
9 there's a few bugs almost not worth tracking down in this script). The
10 best help is probably in testing ebuilds as they hit the tree in ~x86,
11 especially those listed on http://gentoo.tamperd.net/stable (filtered
12 to your platform(s) and perl herd) as being masked for inordinate
13 amounts of time (>90 to 100 days as a rule of thumb) and filing bugs
14 (http://bugs.gentoo.org) that they work fine. Bumping and adding new
15 versions is easy, but without feedback its hard to know successes vs
16 failures. Its easy for me, cpw, and superlag (and any other stragglers
17 :) to say they work - but short of error reports, its hard to see if
18 packages are getting used at all. Thanks!
