-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'm interested in taking over the dev-lang/icc and dev-lang/ifc maintainer position, if no one is actively working on it, and i see that portage needs lots of work in this category, and i have worked with my own ebuilds of ICC to be able to say that its stable enough that we could have it updated in the tree with the changes needed in a few weeks.
Things I Hope to accomplish as maintainer: - - make a new system profile, one specific for icc that will shift the default from gcc to icc for as much of the tree as possible, and would also turn on the icc use flag which would be only used in cases where a specific patch is needed for ICC to work (especially for patchs that would break gcc compiles, but it wouldst hurt to keep the patchs separate) - - compile a list of packages that will be "black-listed" ones that absolutely do not work with ICC, on the Gentoo-wiki.org I have already started to accumulate a list of these such packages, along with some notes on specific packages that need special circumstances to work (C FLAGS, ETC) - - as shown in the Gentoo-wiki.org that a simple bashrc enables "selective" compiling with icc, this will be hopefully be somehow integrated into portage, in the native python language, but will serve as a basis to begin making the whole of the ICC-compiled system work. ** note that bashrc was contributed by another member not me** I am a student with the summer off so i can spend at least 10 hours a week on Gentoo duties, if not more. I have skill with C/C++ so its possible that i can make patchs, although my skill is extremely limited its a benefit to me I have followed Gentoo for the past 2 years, ditching all windows about 10 months ago, and only using Gentoo. This is a way i hope to contribute back to the Gentoo community.
