Hi, I'm not a developer considered in Gentoo project, but I have a little time that I can give Gentoo everyday. I submitted yesterday tkgate ebuild (new package in portage), and I am going to start wxmaxima ebuild.
I know that developers are actually busy, and they have lots of things to do. Those apps are really interesting in sci-mathematics and sci-electronics respectively, and maybe they'll be taken by a developer tomorrow, or maybe they are taken 3 months from now... What I suggest is to take care of this two packages myself, as a developer (passing all the tests and questions that I have to pass for becoming a developer), and I'd like to know if somebody can mentor me. What I did before creating this ebuild was to search some bugs and post them or search them in the source code. I don't usually post bugs before reading source code, and when I post it, I suggest where in the source code the bug can live... Is the way I normally work. And by the way... I'm a GPL fighter... fighting for our rights. Another thing... I normally have little time for searching bugs, creating ebuilds and so on... but I'm a student (at University) and I may have enough time for fixing bugs that always appear on packages... so this is my proposal. Thanks, Rafael Fernández López. -- [email protected] mailing list
