I recently noticed that the plan9port package is scheduled for removal. |

I would like to see this package remain in portage and would therefore |
15 |
like to volunteer as the new maintainer. I've updated the existing |
16 |
ebuild using a 2011-03-20 snapshot and have included quite a few |
17 |
updates, including those from Bug #273890. |
18 |
|
19 |
I've attached a copy of the new ebuild, additional files can be found |
20 |
here: http://andy753421.ath.cx/linked/p9p/ |

It builds cleanly for me on x86 and amd64 machines. I've included fixes |
23 |
for Bug #273890, Bug #224209, the W|X section issues, and a variety of |
24 |
other problems. I wasn't able to immediately reproduce Bug #335471 or |
25 |
Bug #340671 so they may either have been fixed upstream or I will need |
26 |
more precise steps to reproduce. Some of these fixes are slightly hacky |
27 |
patch files, so I'm planning on working with upstream for a proper |
28 |
solution. |

However, I am not an official gentoo developer so it sounds like I'll |
31 |
need a "Proxy Maintainer" to review my work and push updates to portage. |
32 |
Would anyone be willing to do this? |
