Back in April of last year I wrote the above message. Since then the |
| 20 |
tools-portage team has added idl0r as well as several community |
| 21 |
developers. However, we are now in the process of losing truedfx who |
| 22 |
was the main maintainer of ufed. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If a current Gentoo developer wants to join the herd to become the ufed |
| 25 |
maintainer, please let us know. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Additionally, since I don't like touching and breaking glsa-check, it |
| 28 |
would be appreciated if someone would be willing to act as the primary |
| 29 |
maintainer for that piece of gentoolkit as well. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Finally, we have migrated the gentoolkit source code from subversion to |
| 32 |
git. Gentoo developers can access the repository at: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
git+ssh://git@×××××××××××××××××××.org/proj/gentoolkit.git |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Gentoo Developers have full priviledges to the repository. As before, |
| 37 |
any Gentoo developer can do work on the gentoolkit source. We only have |
| 38 |
several requirements. If you want to do a major change (i.e |
| 39 |
rewrite/refactor something), please talk to us before pushing any |
| 40 |
commits. If you break something, please fix it. Finally, if you want a |
| 41 |
new release of gentoolkit or gentoolkit-dev, please coordinate it with |
| 42 |
either myself or idl0r. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Any non Gentoo developers who wish to assist, the best way to get |
| 45 |
started is by pulling a copy of the repository and submitting patches to |
| 46 |
bugzilla. Additionally, we can be found in the #gentoo-portage IRC |
| 47 |
channel. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
On behalf of the tools-portage team. |
