[gentoo-dev] Packages up for grabs

2013-03-17 Thread Christoph Mende
Hi all,

since I don't own a Samsung laptop anymore and my new laptop has Intel
graphics, I'd like to drop maintainership of the following packages:

app-laptop/easy-slow-down-manager (belongs to samsung-tools)
app-laptop/nvidiabl
app-laptop/samsung-tools
net-wireless/ndiswrapper

They're all really low traffic, nvidiabl and ndiswrapper are the only ones
with really active upstream (i.e. bumps every few weeks/months). None of
those has open bugs.
So, feel free to grab any if you use them.

I believe it's /var/lib/. Here's what FHS says:
/var/cache is intended for cached data from applications. Such data is
locally generated as a result of time-consuming I/O or calculation.
The application must be able to regenerate or restore the data. Unlike
/var/spool, the cached files can be deleted without data loss.

And:
/var/lib/ is the location that must be used for all distribution
packaging support.



[gentoo-dev] Packages up for grabs

2012-03-23 Thread Christoph Mende
Hi,

I'm currently lacking time for some packages, so I'm looking for
someone to take over a few, most notably:

- net-misc/curl
- net-dns/c-ares (preferably both together)

And while we're at it there's also some lower maintenance packages I'd
like to get rid of just because I don't use them anymore:

- app-misc/granule
- dev-cpp/libassa (was added for granule, not sure if it's used by
anything else, might be last rited soon if upstream doesn't update it)
- media-gfx/shotwell
- media-sound/audio-entropyd
- net-wireless/ndiswrapper
- sys-fs/gt5
- x11-misc/launchy
- x11-misc/transset-df

If you want any of those, just remove me from metadata and add yourself. Thanks.

I don't think that's what Mike was trying to say. He prolly wanted to
say that it's required to have at least one of  or ,
i.e. having one tag for m-n or the real maintainer is enough (no extra
no-herd entry). Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

And, like Michał said, you really should take your changes upstream,
they seem pretty active (last commit in June). They also quite often
accept pull requests if you look at the history.

Well yes, but with such a project users might notice the packages before
they're about to be removed. Also the important difference is that not
one Gentoo dev does the commits, but many - whoever reads the

I see concerns about to-be-orphaned ebuilds where proxied maintainers
only care about the ebuild for a short period. This would only be a
problem with new ebuilds that will be added to the tree with a proxy
maintainer. Instead of encouraging that, this project could have a goal
to reduce m-n packages by assigning proxy maintainers.
So no new packages, only old ones revived. Sounds reasonable to me.

Although I didn't read the full thread, so please don't decapitate me if
there were other concerns.

GNOME 2.0 slot deps should be fixed after about 1,000 commits and the tree is

Ah, yes, now that you mention it, I really like it that I can just
"repoman full" instead of "repoman manifest; repoman full".
Although for testing I use ebuild foo.ebuild digest clean install most
of the time, so it's not relevant there.

That's what I want to do :P
We currently have xfce4.eclass, xfce42.eclass and xfce44.eclass. 42 and
44 are obviously versioned, 4 isn't, but isn't nearly compatible with
my new one, partly because it was used (and probably exclusively
written) for 4.2.

[gentoo-dev] Reinstating eclasses

2008-11-04 Thread Christoph Mende
Hi,

I'm currently working on a new eclass for Xfce4 that, as opposed to the
previous ones (xfce42.eclass, xfce44.eclass), is supposed to be used
for all versions. Now the most logical name for an eclass like that
would be xfce4.eclass, except that eclass already exists. It seems like
it was used for Xfce 4.2 and has been deprecated for quite some time
now. Obviously, packages using that eclass (which is zero in the main
tree and zero in the xfce herd's overlay btw) wouldn't work with my new
eclass, so I can't just extend said eclass. Now my big question is: Do
I have to think of a new name for my eclass (was thinking of something
like xfce4-r1.eclass, which I don't really like though) or can I just
overwrite the old eclass?
