My intention is to start working on boost version bump in my overlay based on the feedback from bug #320039. If someone wants write access in my overlay please email me along with your ssh key so I can compile a list and send it to overlays team to grant you access. If someone wants to start building the latest version ( ebuild attached on that bug ) feel free to do so and report problems/fixes/ etc -- Markos Chandras (hwoarang) Gentoo Linux Developer Web: http://hwoarang.silverarrow.org Key ID: 441AC410 Key FP: AAD0 8591 E3CD 445D 6411 3477 F7F7 1E8E 441A C410
