Hello gentoo-dev, In general, I could use a mentor I can ask questions of and get answers from. I have been a tinkerer/user only of Gentoo in the past and am now wanting to be more involved.
I have been using the Developer Guide for assistance. But specifically for now... I requested to fill the maintainer role needed for the app-misc/gramps package as I use the software for my own needs and am fairly familiar with it. I am now the maintainer of that package. I find I can use some guidance in getting started. For instance, there is a bug to have gramps-4.2.4 stable (it is ~amd64 ~x86 now). I have been running gramps-4.2.4 OK on amd64, testing various components and reports OK To stabilize this package for amd64 and x86 it would also need to be verified on x86. I suppose I could do that myself by creating an x86 virtual guest and testing or I should ask for assistance via a bug to x86@. Also, when I run 'repoman full' from the proposed ebuild directory I get QA issues for RDEPEND for dev-python/pyicu, which is also ~amd64. This dependent package (and its dependencies) would need to be stable as well. When it comes time to commit (repoman commit), do I need any user access set up before I commit? Regards, Kevin
