I don't always read every post of every thread.  In the future, send
such requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be sure I'll actually see it
before making up the GWN.

Thanks,

[gentoo-dev] gentoo-sources-2.4 needs a maintainer (a real one)

[Daniel Drake]

Hi,

A few weeks ago I posted that gentoo-sources-2.4 needs a maintainer. 
antarus stepped up but realised his fatal mistake and has now fled from 
the scene.


If anyone is interested please step up, otherwise this will go through 
the usual mask/removal process. Recruiting a non-developer to take this 
is an option, provided the usual requirements are met.


Maintaining a kernel is a big job, plus maintaining a 'dead' kernel tree 
like 2.4 is even worse and is not really that interesting. A maintainer 
needs to have interest and energy (which probably indicates a genuine 
requirement to run 2.4), I'm not interested in seeing this 
maintained-but-neglected.


Please mention this in the next GWN.

Thanks!
Daniel
