You are the best judge of your own skills and interests. Go to |
| 11 |
bugs.gentoo.org, search for bugs assigned to 'java@g.o', and |
| 12 |
see if any looking interesting. Some already have ebuilds/fixes |
| 13 |
attached, but haven't been commited to the tree - you might like to |
| 14 |
make a list of trivial bugs like this, sifting out the ones that |
| 15 |
aren't relevant anymore (do leave a comment requesting bug closure and |
| 16 |
the reason). Some of the others, like out-of-memory build issues, are |
| 17 |
one line fixes. Find something that looks simple, see if you can |
| 18 |
reproduce the error, copy the ebuilds to your portage overlay, modify, |
| 19 |
test, repeat, and eventually the error will go away, now submit your |
| 20 |
patch and pester someone to look at it and commit it. That's all there |
| 21 |
is to it. |
