[gentoo-dev] seeking maintainer(s) for dev-util/eclipse-sdk
Hey folks, Eclipse 3.3 has been out for a bit now, and 3.2.2 even longer, and I haven't had the time to sit down to get either fully packaged. So, I'm looking for someone to step up and maintain it. So here are some details about the package: * It is in dual-herd: dev-tools and java * We work with other downstream packagers as part of the Eclipse Linux Distrubtions project. Mostly, we share patches that make things a bit saner in a Linux environment. * The ebuild is pretty long, at 403 or so lines * There's a lot of patching/tweaking going on. There's some 26 patches, 10 or so seds, and some miscellaneous changes that occur. In addition to eclipse-sdk itself, there are a number of Eclipse plugins in the tree. At this point, they've started to get a bit crufty. We've generally been encouraging people to use the update manager for now. Fortunately, some of the other downstream peeps have come up with a sane method for maintaining plugin packages. But, we'd need to get 3.2.2 or 3.3 package before we can pursue it. I did write up some notes awhile back on the Java wiki: https://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/wiki/Eclipse_Maintenance https://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/wiki/Eclipse_Plugin_Maintenance I'm sure people are frothing at the mouth to maintain Eclipse at this point. So, please drop an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and we can work out how to hand things over. -- Joshua Nichols Gentoo/Java Developer Gentoo/Ruby Developer http://technicalpickles.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I got a 2.6.22 kernel I want to boot to test out the new mac80211 stuff vs the older softmac. The ati-driver issue is the only thing holding me back. Just haven't had a chance to apply patches per bug, and bump ebuild locally to test. If it's in an overlay, or tree, surely happy to sync and test :) > This is for the very short > term. I don't want to maintain a driver for hardware I don't own and > never intend on purchasing. Well seems most AMD machines are likely to ship with ATI chipsets these days. For sure most lappies :) Interesting side note. Beryl/Xgl works on my laptop, ATI Xpress200m. Had it working once on my two workstations. Both with nVidia chipsets, and nothing special, but nothing that old either. First time I have had more problems with nVidia vs ATI. -- William L.

Unmaintained and broken... sounds like a candidate for removal. NVIDIA FTW!!! *grin* No, seriously. If this is holding us back, I'll do the commits provided I can find people to help me with testing. This is for the very short term.

[gentoo-dev] Monthly Gentoo Council Reminder for August
This is your monthly friendly reminder ! Same bat time (typically the 2nd Thursday at 2000 UTC / 1600 EST), same bat channel (#gentoo-council @ irc.freenode.net) ! If you have something you'd wish for us to chat about, maybe even vote on, let us know ! Simply reply to this e-mail for the whole Gentoo dev list to see. Keep in mind that every GLEP *re*submission to the council for review must first be sent to the gentoo-dev mailing list 7 days (minimum) before being submitted as an agenda item which itself occurs 7 days before the meeting. Simply put, the gentoo-dev mailing list must be notified at least 14 days before the meeting itself.
