I've been rather busy lately and can't keep up with all of my packages. |
2 |
There are pending bumps, some bugs, but nothing too crazy or hard. |
3 |
So I'm looking for someone to co-maintain (or even take over if you |
4 |
insist) the following packages: |
5 |
|
6 |
* net-mail/notmuch |
7 |
pseudo-autoconf NIH build system that can be PITA to work with, |
8 |
responsive upstream. High profile package. |
9 |
proxied maintainer in metadata has not been active lately and probably |
10 |
should be dropped. |
11 |
|
12 |
* net-irc/weechat |
13 |
Regular but not very frequent releases, responsive upstream, cmake, |
14 |
pretty sane and very popular. |
15 |
|
16 |
* dev-cpp/abseil-cpp |
17 |
Googleware, it's usually bundled into source, like gnulib, but some |
18 |
projects use system copy. |
19 |
Hardcoded flags, broken abi every other bump, may require slotting in |
20 |
the future, some revdeps rely on older versions. Not hard to maintain, |
21 |
but has more that usual blast radius. |
22 |
|
23 |
* net-libs/grpc |
24 |
* dev-python/grpcio |
25 |
* dev-python/grpcio-tools |
26 |
* dev-python/grpcio-testing |
27 |
grpc stack, googleware again. rather frequent releases, lack of |
28 |
portage-able tests, as tests insist on downloading gtest stack git |
29 |
master in src_test phase. |
30 |
Technically it's already co-maintained, but I't be beneficial if we |
31 |
have more hands and eyes on this one. |
32 |
python project has been helping with python packages, but lack of tests |
33 |
makes the package somewhat risky. |
34 |
bonus points if you can test it with tensorflow. |
35 |
|
36 |
* dev-util/bear |
37 |
Responsive upstream. Tests work but require disabling sandboxing (check |
38 |
ebuild on how to run it). Not too hard, pretty popular. |
39 |
|
40 |
* app-arch/dpkg |
41 |
debian upstream, easy to maintain. just need extra eyeballs. |
42 |
|
43 |
* app-shells/fish |
44 |
Responsive upstream, not very frequent releases, cmake. Requires some |
45 |
attention on non-x86 as arch bugs are rather frequent. But nothing too |
46 |
crazy. |
47 |
|
48 |
* sys-process/glances |
49 |
Responsive upstream, easy package. Just need extra pair of eyes/hands. |
50 |
|
51 |
* dev-util/google-perftools |
52 |
Another google package, very arch-specific, big blast radius if broken. |
53 |
Not hard to maintain, but need to be extra careful with revdeps, |
54 |
requires alt-arch testing. |
55 |
|
56 |
* app-admin/sysstat |
57 |
pretty easy but important package. I will also offer base-system to |
58 |
take it, as it's kinda important one. |
59 |
|
60 |
* app-admin/tmpreaper |
61 |
debian upstream, easy. |
62 |
|
63 |
* x11-misc/xwallpaper |
64 |
sane upstream, easy package. just need extra hands. probably most |
65 |
secure wallpaper setter out there ;-) |
66 |

Thanks, Georgy. |

PS. Huge bonus if you can test packages not only on x86_64. |
71 |
Ofc I can help with some gotchas in packages and have no plans on |
72 |
abandoning those completely, but realistically I'm not doing enough to |
73 |
keep those properly maintained at the moment. |
