Hi Peter, how much effort is there to be the maintainer of the gentoo ebuild ?? - as i am using gentoo all over and also having most via based boards i would definitely want to give it a try, but i dont have any user registered at gentoo ...
some time ago i rolled my own ebuild for the openchrome driver ;) how is the procedure to mark something stable in the portage tree - how much must be tested ?!?! if you could shed some light on this, there ould be a maintainer soon ;) regards to all the great people out there who make all this possible !!! marcus.
