Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
my name is Emiliano Vavassori, I'm a Gentoo User and I'm going to |
| 4 |
graduate in Agricultural Sciences in December, at the University of |
| 5 |
Pisa, Italy. As GIS softwares may be my future job, I think the lack of |
| 6 |
up-to-date ebuilds for these programs in Gentoo Portage is a very bad |
| 7 |
accident. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I mantain some ebuilds, already committed to Gentoo Bugzilla |
| 10 |
(examples, bugs 56262, 122188, 113355, 143589 and 122186). The |
| 11 |
main problem is Bugzilla is too slow to allow wider tests on various |
| 12 |
platforms and inserting the ebuilds in time for the next release: for |
| 13 |
example, GRASS GIS is now ready for releasing 6.2.0 but in portage |
| 14 |
there isn't already version 6.1.0 (bug 143589). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I think science-overlay can be a good start point for developing, |
| 17 |
testing and (at least try to) releasing in portage these ebuilds; but |
| 18 |
before this, I would like to know what you think about this and if it's |
| 19 |
possible doing so. |

Thanks for the attention, looking forward to hear about soon, |
| 22 |
