Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I recently joined the #gentoo-bugs channel on the bug day on Saturday |
| 4 |
3rd July. I wanted to help out with getting some of the gnome-related |
| 5 |
bugs removed, as well as getting gnome bumped up to the latest point |
| 6 |
releases. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I tried this after submitting my own ebuild, getting on for a month ago, |
| 9 |
which resulted in the following unhelpful response shown at: |
| 10 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54008 - and has not yet been updated. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
My attempt at creating further discussion with very helpful advice from |
| 13 |
kloeri on IRC resulted http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55947 |
| 14 |
being created. There has not yet been any comment on that from any gnome |
| 15 |
devs. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I understand that developers must be under pressure, and that they |
| 18 |
cannot have updates ready as soon as the software is released. However |
| 19 |
most of gnome in portage is nearly a month old, with no packages for the |
| 20 |
latest "stable" releases in the unstable branch. I have been bumping |
| 21 |
most of this software locally, and unless I have missed something, they |
| 22 |
are very simple updates that involve merely copying the ebuilds to their |
| 23 |
new version names. I note that the gnome team was not advertising for |
| 24 |
new developers during the bug day. May I suggest that this happens? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
This is not in anyway intended to annoy/anger/upset/get at anybody. It |
| 27 |
is just an attempt to get Gnome in portage a little more up to date than |
| 28 |
it currently is. |

Thank you for your time, |
