And we are still lacking SSP support in the tree. We have lost almost all dev's in the herd the past years. As for hardened-sources we are working on it but that work has not hit the tree yet and that not a good situation. It will hit the tree soner or later. We work on our free time to and we don't have all the free time in the world to work on it. There is a long todo list. It is very time comsuming work on the toolchain, kernel, docs, bugs, recruit and help users at the same time. As tree dev that do all the work but we have users and some devs that help out too and that we are thankful for ther help. Hopefully we have something on the hardened-sources after next meeting.
@ Paweł Hajdan, Jr. you could ask in [email protected] what thay need for help or join #gentoo-hardened @ freenode.net And the hardened-sources in the hardened-development overlay have some regreesions that we are working on to fix.
