Ah, that makes more sense.

I agree with you.

Agreed, too.  It is the mentor's duty to facilitate a win-win outcome to
our student, Gentoo and Google, by being more careful on visions and
planning.

In retrospect, I was overconfident about my technical judgement.  I will
take your advice.  Thank you, Marek.

Yeah, that would have been a much safer way to remove ebuilds.

Yesterday the original pull requests by Mo did not remove ebuilds.  It
was only when I started to adopt the PR that I saw

after which I impulsively killed it.


I should take this lesson and be more careful removing ebuilds.

In my opinion Michał has got a very good point regarding potential PR
consequences of us rejecting GSoC work. Of course it can be done, I've
seen my share of student projects of various sort getting binned
immediately after implementation - but more often than not it shows a
lack of of foresight, at best, on behalf of institutions which requested
manpower for such projects. Yes, it is good for you to have eventually
brought this to -dev - but IMHO it really is too late. In the future, I
would STRONGLY advise having a general discussion before having even a

This looks a lot safer than yesterday's patch since there are no
ebuild removals here.

If/when you do want to remove old ebuilds, I suggest creating a github
PR, and let the CI bot check reverse dependencies. This was actually
done for the change that was reverted yesterday, but it seems like the
CI results were ignored and the commit was pushed regardless.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH v2 0/6] User/group assignment: burp, rtkit, syncthing

2019-06-27 Thread Marek Szuba 


Thank you for your feedback, here is the second version of the patch
set.
Changes:
 - shifted the IDs for burp and syncthing into the appropriate LSB range;
   the Wiki page has been updated accordingly.

* * *

Here is the RFC for acct-* packages corresponding to users and groups
created by packages I currently maintain. This is also a request to
reserve the respective UIDs/GIDs, namely:

Groups:
 - burp - 498
 - rtkit - 133
 - syncthing - 499

Users:
 - burp - 498
 - rtkit - 133
 - syncthing - 499

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 2/2] virtual/{c,}blas: add sci-libs/blis as a candidate.

2019-06-27 Thread heroxbd 
From: Benda Xu 

  On ld.so-based systems, runtime library switching is possible.  We
  use 'eselect-ldso' to flag this possibility.  In this case, blis can
  used as a drop-in replacement via an `eselect` call.

  Otherwise If USE eselect-ldso is not set, only reference
  implementation will be pulled in.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 0/2] RFC: Introducing ldso switching to BLAS/LAPACK

2019-06-27 Thread heroxbd 
From: Benda Xu 

The following 2 patches are to introduce the runtime switching
mechanism to BLAS/LAPACK libraries in Gentoo.

This feature is turned off by default and only the reference
BLAS/LAPACK is used to satisfy the dependencies.  It can be enabled by
USE=eselect-ldso.


Sorry for the glitch to the tree caused by my mistake yesterday.  I am
looking forward to your review.  I am cross posting to -dev and -sci
so as to attract atention from all interested parties.

Cheers,
Benda
