4 Hello,
5 I'm interested in taking over the dev-lang/icc and dev-lang/ifc
6 maintainer position, if no one is actively working on it, and i see that
7 portage needs lots of work in this category, and i have worked with my
8 own ebuilds of ICC to be able to say that its stable enough that we
9 could have it updated in the tree with the changes needed in a few weeks.
10
11 Things I Hope to accomplish as maintainer:
12
13 - - make a new system profile, one specific for icc that will shift the
14 default from gcc to icc for as much of the tree as possible, and would
15 also turn on the icc use flag which would be only used in cases where a
16 specific patch is needed for ICC to work (especially for patchs that
17 would break gcc compiles, but it wouldst hurt to keep the patchs separate)
18
19 - - compile a list of packages that will be "black-listed" ones that
20 absolutely do not work with ICC, on the Gentoo-wiki.org I have already
21 started to accumulate a list of these such packages, along with some
22 notes on specific packages that need special circumstances to work (C
23 FLAGS, ETC)
24
25 - - as shown in the Gentoo-wiki.org that a simple bashrc enables
26 "selective" compiling with icc, this will be hopefully be somehow
27 integrated into portage, in the native python language, but will serve
28 as a basis to begin making the whole of the ICC-compiled system work. **
29 note that bashrc was contributed by another member not me**
30
31 I am a student with the summer off so i can spend at least 10 hours a
32 week on Gentoo duties, if not more. I have skill with C/C++ so its
33 possible that i can make patchs, although my skill is extremely limited
34 its a benefit to me
35
36 I have followed Gentoo for the past 2 years, ditching all windows about
37 10 months ago, and only using Gentoo. This is a way i hope to contribute
38 back to the Gentoo community.
