[gentoo-dev] Packages up for grabs
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.
[gentoo-dev] Proposed update to pax-utils.eclass
Hi everyone, The hardened team has been working on getting PaX markings moved to Extended Attributes rather then putting them in a program header of the ELF binaries [1]. The motivation here is that this is a generally safer way of doing PaX markings since mangling an ELF binary can break things [2]. The last step in the process is getting an eclass on the tree which does both xattr as well as elf phdr based PaX markings. We've been testing one for a while and we think we've clobbered all the bugs. The eclass deviates significantly from the one on the tree, so a I'm not sure a diff is the best way to present it. The current version is on the hardened-dev overay [3]. It also makes use of a new utility called paxctl-ng which does what paxctl did but also with xattr [4]. You may want to look at some documentation too. A updated discussion of PaX which includes xattr stuff is at [5]. A migration guide is at [6]. Please review. We are in no rush to get this done, so if you find bugs or have concerns, add blockers to the tracker [1]. Ref.

Re: [gentoo-dev] [PATCHES] multibuild.eclass: custom phase function helpers
On Sun, 10 Mar 2013 11:16:44 +0100 Michał Górny mgo...@gentoo.org wrote: distutils-r1 (and previously python-distutils-ng) was using custom phase functions for a while. Recently, hasufell added multilib-minimal which does the same. Since in both cases the custom functions are closely related to building multiple variants of the package, I'm thinking of adding a few helper functions to the multibuild.eclass. The framework I'm suggesting will make the custom phase functions behave similarly to regular ones. Most importantly, eclasses will be provided with a function to 'export' them. Due to the issue of non-generic design of multilib-minimal eclass, I have decided not to apply those patches. The autotools-multilib can't sanely benefit from it, and then there's no consumer for the eclass framework. We can get back here if there is a new eclass which needs the framework. -- Best regards, Michał Górny signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-dev] sgml herd has no maintainers (again)
I just dropped myself due to lack of interest. If anyone cares for any of the packages please take them over.
