We of course would love new ebuilds, but more importantly we need people who |
| 18 |
are going to test ebuilds and refine them until they are working perfectly and |
| 19 |
who will take a personal interest in the quality of Gentoo Linux rather than |
| 20 |
simply posting ebuilds. So, if this sounds like you, then we'd love to have |
| 21 |
you aboard. First, submit a couple of new ebuilds so that we can see that you |
| 22 |
know how to use the Portage system, and then we can look into giving you cvs |
| 23 |
access. |
