Sure. |
| 12 |
- reached >10% coverage/replication of the gentoo-x86 tree |
| 13 |
- convinced two contributors to become Gentoo ppl |
| 14 |
- attracted more "big players" |
| 15 |
- extended our arch.list |
| 16 |
- brought Portage Prefix branch fully in sync with trunk |
| 17 |
- rough Prefix binpkg support (chpathtool, via tinderbox.dev.g.o) |
| 18 |
- enabled Java (Sun, Diablo, (Apple/Soylatte)), Haskell (GHC) in Prefix |
| 19 |
- mostly automated tree syncing, to easily stay up-to-date |
| 20 |

Just continue. |
| 24 |
- try to make cross-compiling/building with target prefix fully working |
| 25 |
- sort out the 64-bits targets with their multilib-hell forced upon us |
| 26 |
- add more arches, {net,open}bsd ones being worked on |
| 27 |
- work out support for bootstrapping from a binhost |
| 28 |
- hope we can get an rsync tree with metadata generated (get faster!) |
| 29 |
- try to eliminate python as it usually doesn't compile (will fail) |
| 30 |
- try to convince more people (you know who you are) |
| 31 |
- finish writing of the stupid glep |
| 32 |
- add more packages/try to close all package request bugs |
| 33 |
- think about privileged installs |
| 34 |
- get baselayout fully ported (support for runscripts) |
| 35 |
- (maybe) think about multi-prefix (could solve the FreeBSD GNU conflict) |
| 36 |
- try not to kill overlays.g.o |
| 37 |
- seek cooperation with "Gentoo upstreams" where appropriate (part of |
| 38 |
the slight maturing phase) |
| 39 |
- try to get all the other companies we know they use us, to post |
| 40 |
some testimony like |
| 41 |
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.alt/3308 :) (wishful |
| 42 |
thinking) |
| 43 |
- maybe invest some time to get repoman's SVN support patch acceptable |
| 44 |
for the trunk (not much benefit for us at the moment, though) |
| 45 |
- (most probably) go crazy |
