[gentoo-dev] New ebuilds

[Rafael Fernández López]

Hi,

I'm not a developer considered in Gentoo project, but I have a little time
that I can give Gentoo everyday. I submitted yesterday tkgate ebuild (new
package in portage), and I am going to start wxmaxima ebuild.

I know that developers are actually busy, and they have lots of things to
do. Those apps are really interesting in sci-mathematics and
sci-electronics respectively, and maybe they'll be taken by a developer
tomorrow, or maybe they are taken 3 months from now...

What I suggest is to take care of this two packages myself, as a developer
(passing all the tests and questions that I have to pass for becoming a
developer), and I'd like to know if somebody can mentor me.

What I did before creating this ebuild was to search some bugs and post
them or search them in the source code. I don't usually post bugs before
reading source code, and when I post it, I suggest where in the source
code the bug can live... Is the way I normally work.

And by the way... I'm a GPL fighter... fighting for our rights.

Another thing... I normally have little time for searching bugs, creating
ebuilds and so on... but I'm a student (at University) and I may have
enough time for fixing bugs that always appear on packages... so this is
my proposal.

Thanks,
Rafael Fernández López.
