We got 2.8 into the tree (yay). After a few bug reports that were |
| 11 |
mostly silliness on my part, things have mostly been smooth sailing. |
| 12 |
Hopefully it's working out for everyone. |

To Do: |

I have a couple people interested in ports other than wxGTK (eg. |
| 16 |
wxMac). I'd like to start by separating wxBase into its own package and |
| 17 |
get support for building against an external wxBase into upstream. I |
| 18 |
haven't talked to upstream about this yet and they may violently |
| 19 |
disagree with this approach so all this is highly tentative. I have no |
| 20 |
idea what form other ports in portage will take at the moment. |
| 21 |
Work on upcoming releases (2.10(?)/3.0) will begin when said releases |
| 22 |
are closer to.. er.. release. |

I've been working on getting the tree ready for GCC 4.3 but it's been |
| 31 |
slow going. 4.3 is a hell of a lot more disruptive than 4.2 was. There |
| 32 |
is a preliminary porting document posted at |
| 33 |
http://people.redhat.com/~bkoz/porting_to_gcc43.html which outlines most |
| 34 |
of the major issues if people are interested. Right now I almost have |
| 35 |
Gnome building while KDE is a bit further behind just due to the most |
| 36 |
commonly encountered 4.3 incompatibilities being in C++ code (KDE itself |
| 37 |
has been fine, most of the problems are in the dependencies). Anyone |
| 38 |
wishing to follow this progress can checkout my overlay via layman and |
| 39 |
subscribe to Bug #198121. (I also have svn GCC ebuilds in my overlay. |
| 40 |
They work on 64bit targets which i think the ones in the toolchain |
| 41 |
overlay have trouble with (?).) |

[ fonts ] (hey, i do run this one!) |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Done: |
| 47 |
Version bumping. Random fixing. Thanks to pva the eclass now |
| 48 |
handles conf files with spaces in their names. :) Thanks to cardoe we |
| 49 |
have an awesome eselect module for tweaking said conf files. :) I think |
| 50 |
all of our major bugs have been fixed. |
| 51 |
To Do: |
| 52 |
We've gotten a couple more ppl so things should go a bit smoother. |
| 53 |
There are a crapload of font ebuild requests in bugzilla I'd like to |
| 54 |
sort through. (I'm not adding every request to the tree; fonts will be |
| 55 |
considered based on quality, coverage, license, etc.) I'd like to bring |
| 56 |
our font selection up to the level of other mainstream distros, as well |
| 57 |
as review our defaults to try and provide a better out-of-the-box |
| 58 |
experience for >=2008.x. fontconfig-2.5 helps with this and I'm |
| 59 |
planning on stabilizing it soon. |
