Hello, everyone. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
It is with pleasure that I'd like to announce that the GURU project [1] |
| 4 |
has started and is home for its first ebuilds [2]. For those who |
| 5 |
haven't been following the recent RFCs: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
GURU aims to be a single central user-maintained Gentoo repository. |
| 8 |
It tries to take the best ideas of the past Sunrise project [3], |
| 9 |
and modify them into a self-sustainable ecosystem where users work |
| 10 |
together on new packages (only those not in Gentoo are allowed), review |
| 11 |
one another's work and (hopefully) eventually deliver a reasonably good |
| 12 |
quality product. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
At this point, I am obliged to explicitly note that GURU is maintained |
| 15 |
by users and is not strictly controlled by Gentoo developers or |
| 16 |
supported by Gentoo Security project. While hopefully our Trusted |
| 17 |
Contributors will do their best to ensure good quality of GURU, it may |
| 18 |
contain vulnerable, broken or even malicious ebuilds. You use it |
| 19 |
at your own risk (just like Gentoo itself). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If you are interested in contributing your ebuilds to GURU (provided |
| 22 |
they are new packages and now updates to ebuilds in ::gentoo), please |
| 23 |
take a look at the project page [1]. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
At the same time, I'd like to make it clear that GURU exists |
| 26 |
independently of proxy-maint, and you are free to submit your packages |
| 27 |
both ways, or to submit it to GURU first for fleshing out. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
If you are interested in using GURU on your system, it is available |
| 30 |
on the repository roster as 'guru'. You can get it e.g. via: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
eselect repository enable guru |
