This is a general call for developers to join the portage development |
2 |
team. |
3 |
|
4 |
aka: Recruiting Drive |
5 |
|
6 |
If you have some "Good" python and/or bash skills and want/need to or |
7 |
already know portage's internals. WE NEED YOU! |
8 |
|
9 |
We have several non-developer contributors helping out, but it will be |
10 |
very hard to match the productivity Zac has made over these past years. |
11 |
|
12 |
For those that don't already know, I've pushed out a new release today. |
13 |
Portage-2.2.8 has made it to the tree with many bug fixes. Many of |
14 |
which were fixed by contributors Sebastian Luther, Arfrever Frehtes |
15 |
Taifersar Arahesis and Alexander Berntsen. A big "Thank You" to them for |
16 |
helping to fill the gap. |
17 |
|
18 |
There are still more bugs to work on. More to pin down their cause, so |
19 |
please help where you can. |
20 |
|
21 |
It seems for the immediate interim, I have somehow become temporary |
22 |
lead. While I have too many projects on the go to get deep into portage |
23 |
coding work at the moment. I will do what I can. For those that can |
24 |
fix some things, please send patch submittals to the gentoo-portage-dev |
25 |
mail list. There are several of us capable of reviewing the submissions |
26 |
and when ready, merging them. |
27 |
|
28 |
Once we get an indication that new volunteers are no longer coming |
29 |
forward to join. We will elect a new lead. |
30 |
|
31 |
Those interested in joining, please subscribe to the gentoo-portage-dev |
32 |
list and send an email stating what you can offer and any ideas you have |
33 |
to improve portage's code base. |
