[gentoo-dev] Packages up for grabs
Hi, I have a number of packages in which I have lost interest and which I no longer want to maintain: app-admin/hddtemp app-misc/linux-logo dev-util/oprofile net-libs/libtlen sci-mathematics/gimps sci-mathematics/xmds sci-misc/vitables sys-apps/fakechroot sys-apps/fakeroot-ng sys-apps/memtest86+ www-client/elinks x11-misc/xfractint All the packages require relatively low maintenance and currently have no open bugs (with the exception on memtest86+ and bug #339691). I will reassign them to maintainer-needed in about a week. If you want to take them, please just add yourself to metadata.xml directly. Thanks, -- Michal Januszewski http://people.gentoo.org/spock
Re: [gentoo-dev] [rfc] Rendering the official Gentoo logo / Blender,2.04, Python 2.2

So this is were I stepped in: I tried it and used the geometries from the old .blender file, and the yellowish reflecting image. Problem was to recreate the exact representation of the original logo, by new means of rendering and relighting. I tried to solve them by creating a new material for the g and carefully adjusting the parameters. Also I added a new modifier for the geometry to get rid of the ugly seam at the sharp edge. (This does not modify the geometry, only the rendering of it) However, here are my preliminary results: - the modified .blend-file[1] (tested with blender 2.57b) - new rendered logo image [2] - original logo image (for comparison)[3] What do you think?

Desktop users tend to be less aware of these things and take longer to upgrade. Well, the question is whether that helps... :) with an updated portage tree, you cannot install KDE 4.4 (and thereby kbluetooth) anymore. So this would be for the use-case alone when someone still has KDE 4.4 installd and wants to add bluetooth support without upgrading. Anyway, why not... I'll just leave it in for a while longer.

If so, can you point to an example of where Diego's been removing people for disagreeing with him, rather than for disagreeing with the Council? how is disagreeing with a Council decision valid grounds either ? punting people because they disagree with any group isn't really valid. -mike a user POV: If you are in the role of enforcing decision of the council and with disagreeing you mean acting versus their decision yes it's a very much valid ground. In real life if you are a policeman and disagree with politicians you must anyway enforce their laws or you're jailed. Anyway maybe the whole QA should resign (you too Diego) and election done again, seem the more correct thing at this point

I use fakeroot and fakechroot daily and memtest are very useful to me. I'm not a gentoo developer but I play with ebuild on my overlay since few month : http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=user/aluco.git;a=summary I think my main contribution in my overlay is the phoronix-test-suite. I'd like to go forward and I wish to help the sunrise projet (if those packages fall on the overlay). I'd like to make sure if my ebuilds follow gentoo's standards and collaborate closer to the developers. I'm not sure I'm aware of all gentoo's procedures, do you think all of this will be faisable and am I on the right way? Thanks, Anthoine Thanks, -- Michal Januszewski http://people.gentoo.org/spock
Re: [gentoo-dev] Reviving webapp-config

You might want to chuck it out and start from scratch... Much of the difficulty with the original webapp-config was that it was designed to work on Windows. Stuart's plan was to create a distribution and operating system independent way of dealing with web apps, sort of like CPAN; Gentoo was merely the testbed. If your goals don't match that, you're probably better rethinking everything than trying to revive something that was designed for a completely different purpose. Also, for pure Gentoo needs it may be better to replace webapp-config with package manager and eclasses. So to install web apps to /usr/share or sth and provide apache config files to set up those webapps like Debian does for instance - so dispatch-conf would be utilized for tracking config file modifications and uninstall via unmerge One major obstacle is that we have quite a number of web servers to support if we're to provide out of the box experience for those web apps. -- regards MM signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
