Dear Toolchain Fellows, |
2 |
Ccing g-project ML as this may be of general interest, |
3 |
|
4 |
I have gained experience and am confident with GNU toolchain after the |
5 |
Gentoo SoC project /Gentoo on Android/[1] and /Gentoo RAP/[2]. |
6 |
|
7 |
The Prefix overlay[3] is freezed and being merged into gentoo-x86(bug |
8 |
315803), therefore not a good place to hold RAP. Not wanting to maintain |
9 |
another RAP overlay either, we would like to work on gentoo-x86. RAP is |
10 |
embarrassingly similar to gentoo-x86 anyway. |
11 |
|
12 |
I'd like to thank vapier for reviewing my patches, in bugs |
13 |
478434(toolchain-bintuils.eclass), 474358(toolchain.eclass), |
14 |
473728(sys-libs/glibc). However, it takes months to be reviewed and |
15 |
finally merged. The process has been staled for a while. People are |
16 |
busy. That's the reality. The situation cannot be changed unless I step |
17 |
up to take the responsibility to maintain the Prefix/RAP related |
18 |
contents in the toolchain ebuilds and eclasses. So I decide to join. |
19 |
|
20 |
As a newcomer, I will take extra care about the coding style of ebuilds |
21 |
and eclasses, and will send the patches to gentoo-dev before committing |
22 |
in the first year of my membership of toolchain. |
23 |
|
24 |
Thanks. And wish me luck! |
25 |
Benda |
