WE NEED YOU! > I want to thank all those that responded to my call (read cry) for help :D I think we have enough people that once everyone is more familiar with portage. It will be less likely to be in trouble if someone disappears from the project. Our team is now, I think quite well rounded, with interests in different areas of portage and it's utilities. We have also converted most of the old www.gentoo.org project pages to the wiki [1], still a few more to go. The portage team is now: Brian Dolbec (dolsen)...Interim lead, Public API Mike Frysinger (vapier).sandbox, etc. Thomas Sachau (Tommy[D])multilib portage Ulrich Müller (ulm).PMS liason GrobianFabian Groffen (grobian).Prefix portage Sebastian Luther (few_).bug squashing machine ;) Tom Wijsman (TomWij)Repoman Rafael Martins (rafaelmartins)..Distfile delta support Matthew Thode (promehteanfire) Pavel Kazakov (Nullishzero) Jesus Rivero (neurogeek) Chris Reffett (creffett) Alec Warner (antarus)...Code review, security Zac Medico (zmedico)Former lead, currently devaway Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (Arfrever) Vladimir Romanov (blueboar)..Russian Translation and 2 more contributing members Alexander Berntsen (bernalex) Douglas Dunn (djdunn) Of course we still accept patches sent to the portage-dev list :) [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Portage -- Brian Dolbec signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

There have been several so far, but, the more the better. It will take the load off any one individual. We all (well, most) have real lives that we also need to attend to. ;) For best the best documentation, enable the epydoc use flag and re-emerge portage. There are several bugs to start working on. Also there are some gleps that need to be attended to. See the email Sebastian has sent out with a number of open bugs. I will be laying out a plan for the sync operations change I am proposing to do. If we can come to an agreement on that, then there will also be that to implement. So for now, join, start delving into the code, see what you can do. Ask questions... We will need to establish some meetings after some newcomers have had a bit of time to see what needs doing. We can start making some decisions then. Thank you. -- Brian Dolbec signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Hi everyone, I saw the email sent to the dev mailing list asking for help on portage. I'm not sure how much interest the post has generated, but if help is still needed, I'd be more than willing to help out. I have good familiarity with bash and python (I use both extensively at work). I'm not too familiar with portage's internals but willing to learn. If help is still needed, is there any documentation for starting development or any good pointers for me to get started? Regards, Pavel
