Hi Brian, |
38 |
|
39 |
I'm somewhat familiar with portage code, and want to help a bit too. |
40 |
My main target would be to integrate distpatch (distfile delta |
41 |
support, a.k.a. my work on gsoc 2011) with portage. I sent the patch |
42 |
to the list years ago, but it never got any reviews, etc. I'm going to |
43 |
rewrite it and add some tests, etc. |
44 |
|
45 |
Can I join the team? :) |
46 |
|
47 |
Thanks! |
