Hi Hans, thanks for the reply! Being a student, I will soon have some |
| 8 |
time to help out, so this might be a good thing for me to do. How does |
| 9 |
one become a proxy maintainer? Should I just write app-backup@g.o? |

One of the challenging things about the BackupPC ebuild is that the |
| 12 |
program needs to be configured to work with its own instance of apache |
| 13 |
(run as user backuppc), and I think none of the ebuild contributors are |
| 14 |
all too sure of the standard "Gentoo" way of doing this. I'd be happy |
| 15 |
to try and make an ebuild that is a good compromise of the ideas listed |
| 16 |
in the bug. |
